WELCOME TO
AGEING WITHOUT BORDERS
2022

​

Welcome to the international conference

Ageing With]Out[Borders

that will be held in Faro on 6-7th December 2022.

​

Human longevity has increased over time, but ageing is often combined to a decline of biological functions and health, associated with an increased risk for neurodegenerative and cardiovascular disease, and cancer. Although several aspects of ageing are preventable and can be improved through a healthy and active lifestyle, maintaining a long lasting healthy life is a major societal challenge that will require a better understanding of the ageing process in cells and in the entire organism to be adequately addressed.

 

This conference is set in the context of the “With]Out[Borders” series launched by the Portuguese Society for Stem Cells and Cell Therapies (SPCE-TC) with the objective to nurture and promote fundamental and translational research on different research fields.

​

The Ageing With]Out[ Borders Conference aims to provide a multidisciplinary and informal stage to present recent developments in cells, stem cells, senescence, inflammation, and (epi)genetic mechanisms involved in ageing, by international renowned researchers in the field. This event will also offer the opportunity to promote discussion on fundamental and translational ageing research, and to discuss clinical and lifestyle interventions for health improvement during ageing.

 

Oral and poster communications will also be selected from the submitted abstracts and awards will be given to the best presentations. We invite you to join us in this event and contribute to a lively scientific discussion on the exciting field of ageing.

 

I am looking forward to seeing you in Faro!
