AGING
The Disease - The Cure - The Implications
(Aging 2008)

June 27 Update: Aging 2008 registration is appreciated but not required. You can check in at the door at 4pm.

Leading aging scientists and public policy experts will gather at UCLA today. This is the first time that an event like this has taken place anywhere. We hope to see you there!

Applying the new technologies of regenerative and genetic medicine, the engineering approach to aging promises to dramatically extend healthy human life within the next few decades.

How do you and your loved ones stand to benefit from the coming biomedical revolution? Are you prepared? Is society prepared?

At Aging 2008 you will engage with top scientists and advocates as they present their findings and advice, and learn what you can do to help accelerate progress towards a cure for the disease and suffering of aging.

Doors open at 4:00 pm on June 27th, 2008, at UCLA’s Royce Hall. Entry is free and includes a complimentary drinks reception before the presentations begin. For an additional $30, attendees also have the opportunity to attend a special dinner with the speakers.

Aging 2008 is the opening session for the technically focused Understanding Aging conference, running June 28-29 at UCLA.
