We are excited to announce the Summer School 2025, which continues our tradition of addressing topics related to aging. This year's event is titled "Senescence and Aging: From Molecular Mechanisms to Multi-Scale Interventions.
The event will take place at the Biomedical Research Building, Faculty of Health, UPEC, 8 rue du Général Sarrail, 94000 Créteil.
Join leading experts and rising stars in aging and senescence research at this groundbreaking two-day conference, bringing together the latest discoveries, innovative technologies, and therapeutic advances to unravel the complex biology of aging and senescence. Whether your expertise lies in molecular biology, computational modeling, clinical research, or public health, this conference offers a unique interdisciplinary platform to explore aging from cells to society.
EUR LIVE is organizing the Summer School 2025 with esteemed European universities, including the University of Glasgow, the University of Federico II of Naples, and the European University Alliance Aurora. We look forward to welcoming many of you for two days of conferences and engaging discussions.
