Inaugural Virtual Aging Research Conference
The University of Chicago has a history of leading innovative, collaborative research across multiple disciplines and is uniquely positioned to advance knowledge and meaningful interventions in aging science. An assessment of university profiles meeting an “aging” search term revealed more than 350 profiles of individuals with research related to aging. This aging conference will unite these many experts with a common interest in aging, to build new collaborations and to learn about NIA-sponsored aging research centers. Most importantly, participants will have greater insight into the latest research in aging so they can improve their practices as clinicians and researchers.
