Molecular mechanisms of aging and age-related diseases
The international seminar "Molecular mechanisms of aging and age-related diseases" will be held at MIPT
On October 9-12, the international seminar "Molecular mechanisms of aging and age-related diseases" (Molecular mechanisms of aging and aging-related diseases) will be held at MIPT with the support of the 5-100 Project. World-renowned scientists will come to share their experience: Raymond Stevens, Ernst Bamberg and Norbert Dencher.Experts from different countries will gather to discuss key achievements in various fields of scientific research related to the study of the molecular mechanisms of aging and associated diseases, such as neurodegenerative (primarily Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases) and cardiovascular diseases, as well as cancer. These diseases are the main cause of death in developed countries, but to date, significant breakthroughs in understanding the exact mechanisms of their development have not yet occurred. One of the main reasons is considered to be cellular aging of the body.
In addition, even in the absence of these diseases, cellular aging with age leads to a significant deterioration in the quality of life. That is why the establishment of molecular mechanisms of aging is an important step towards increasing the duration of a healthy human life.
Within the framework of the event, recognized experts from Russia, the USA, Germany, France and China will give open lectures in the MIPT assembly hall:
- On October 9, at 18:30, Professor Ray Stevens from the Scripps Research Institute (USA) will talk about successful examples of rational drug development;On October 10 at 18:30 Ernst Bamberg from the Institute of Biophysics of the Max Planck Society (Germany) will talk to guests about microbial rhodopsins, their molecular mechanisms and optogenetics;
- On October 12, at 18:30, Norbert Dencher from the Darmstadt Technical University (Germany) will tell you what biophysics, biochemistry and cell biology can tell about aging and Alzheimer's disease, and how biological membranes are involved in this.
