Conference: What do we know about loneliness?

Submitted by Robert Saunders on Thu, 17/05/2012 - 21:30

Age UK Oxfordshire, in collaboration with the Campaign to End Loneliness (supported by the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation, Independent Age and Oxfordshire County Council) is mounting an international conference to bring together the latest knowledge about loneliness from around the world: its causes, effects and the solutions. The conference programme will combine contributions from some of the leading academics in the field, including American leaders of thought; Professors Cacioppo and Holt-Lunstad, alongside our own UK experts. There will be several highly interactive sessions exploring specific themes including: who is most at risk? What are the health impacts? What works in reducing loneliness? How can we prevent loneliness in later life?

International Study Group on Systems Biology - Special Theme Energy Metabolism and Ageing

24/09/2012
28/09/2012
Summary: 

The 2012 meeting of the International Study Group for Systems Biology (ISGSB) will take place from Sept 25 till 28, on the isle of Ameland, The Netherlands. 

Location: 
Ameland, Netherlands
Main Body: 

The International Study Group of Systems Biology (ISGSB) organizes biannual workshops where new developments in systems biology research are discussed between PIs, postdocs and PhD students. The Study Group is specialized in the ‘bottom-up’ branch of Systems Biology, which concerns the detailed molecular mechanisms that lead to emergent biological properties. New developments in technology and modelling, however, bring the genome-wide top-down approach ever closer to the bottom-up approach. The ISGSB stimulates intensive interaction between the different approaches to systems biology and provides ample opportunity for young scientists to present their research.  

The upcoming ISGSB meeting wil be held on the isle of Ameland in the Wadden Sea, The Netherlands on September 25-28, 2012. The special theme of the meeting will be Energy Metabolism and Ageing.
 
As a satellite to this meeting we will organize a Systems Biology Symposium on Energy Metabolism and Ageing in the city of Groningen, The Netherlands on September 24, 2012.

Ageing and Basic Bioscience Conference

Submitted by Robert Saunders on Tue, 06/03/2012 - 17:49

Dates: 20th - 21st September

Location: Babraham Institute

Ageing research is driven by the need to understand how we age and to increase healthy lifespan. However, the study of ageing also reveals novel molecular, genetic and cellular mechanisms important for wider understanding of basic biology. This meeting will highlight the most exciting recent advances in ageing research. It will discuss innovative techniques and the model organisms in which they are applied, and it will consider how understanding of basic bioscience contributes to, and benefits from research into ageing.
