EMBO | EMBL Symposium - The ageing genome: from mechanisms to disease
Event Date: Jun 10-13, 2025 Event Venue: EMBL Heidelberg and Virtual
Ageing is often considered a complex phenotype that affects multiple organs and tissues in a time-dependent manner. This may result in the aged population consuming a myriad of medications, each aimed to treat, but not cure, the affected tissue.
This symposium explores the core molecular mechanisms - known as the Primary Hallmarks of Ageing - that drive aging across tissues, aiming to simplify our understanding of age-related diseases. The 2025 edition will highlight chromatin changes and telomere dysfunction, linking them to DNA damage and repair. With a new global speaker lineup, the event will bridge chromosome biology and aging science, addressing the rising interest in anti-aging interventions through mechanistic insights and relevant aging models.
