You are cordially invited to participate in the 10th Congress of
the International Association of Biomedical Gerontology (IABG 10), which will
be held from 19-23 September 2003 at
Queens' College, Cambridge.
The purpose of the IABG is (1) to make the general public more aware of
the potential of biomedical aging research to increase the span of healthy
productive life and to decrease the social and economic problems of age;
and (2) to promote greater communication among the worldwide community
of individuals engaged in biomedical aging research.
The congress will continue and extend the superlative quality that IABG
meetings have maintained since the Association's founding in 1985. The
calibre of these meetings can be seen from the proceedings volumes, which
since 1991 have been published as volumes of the Annals of the New York
Academy of Sciences:
The meeting will comprise invited talks, short oral presentations of
submitted abstracts, and poster sessions. There will be no concurrent
sessions. Talks will take place in the Fitzpatrick Lecture Hall. Poster sessions will take place in the
new (too new to have an online photo!) conservatory adjacent to the
bar. During the first two days of the congress, Wisepress will have a bookstall
in the registration area adjacent to the dining hall.
All questions
should be directed to the main organiser, Aubrey de Grey.
We look forward to welcoming you to Cambridge
for a most exciting and enjoyable meeting.
