Wishing you today a Happy 175th Anniversary of
the founder of Gerontology – Elie Metchnikoff! Hopefully his legacy will
continue to inspire interest and involvement in aging research. Here is some
background about Metchnikoff, his legacy and relevance today. http://www.longevityforall.org/175th-anniversary-of-the-founder-of-gerontology-elie-metchnikoff-lessons-from-history-and-hope-for-the-future/
In honor of Metchnikoff's anniversary, we organize “The 1st Metchnikoff’s Day Online Conference - Aging, Immunity and COVID-19” that will take place TOMORROW, Saturday, May 16, 2020 via ZOOM. It is still possible to register until tomorrow (the zoom link will be sent to those who registered). Just in case, here are all the conference details and program at the ILA site
And some other news. On this special day, May 15, representatives of 15 research institutions from 13 countries established an International Multi-Center Collaboration on Antiaging and Disease Prevention by signing a memorandum of understanding (MoU). This international collaboration will focus on Anti-aging and Prevention of both communicable and non-communicable diseases. We hope that this collaboration will contribute to finding and deploying effective measures for ameliorating degenerative aging processes and prevention of aging-related diseases threatening the global society.
Best
