DESCRIPTION:This is a three day summit\, involving:\n\n*The Immunology of 
 Ageing \n\nIt is clear that the immune system undergoes age-associated alt
 erations\, producing a progressive deterioration in the ability to respond
  to infections and to develop immunity after vaccination. This event will 
 discuss this Immunosenescence\, both within the innate and adaptive immune
  systems. While discussing the mechanisms that contribute to immunosenesce
 nce\, there will be plenty of networking opportunities and also debate  re
 lating to potential therapies that could be employed to help the populatio
 n live longer\, fuller and healthier lives. \n\n*Biomarkers and Ageing \n\
 nBiomarkers of ageing could help to characterise biological age and be use
 d\, not only to identify individuals at high risk of developing age-associ
 ated diseases or disabilities\, but also could lead to anti-ageing therapi
 es. This event will discuss the current research to identify and character
 ise biomarkers for ageing in an informal atmosphere.  Abstract submissions
  are encouraged for both oral and poster presentations and there will be p
 lenty of opportunity of networking with experts in the field.\n\n*Establis
 hing Anti-Ageing Medicines\n\nThe last three decades have shown us how pla
 stic the ageing process can be. It is becoming apparent that\, with increa
 sed knowledge\, more and more of the negative consequences of ageing can n
 ow be tackled\, postponed or avoided. This meeting aims to review the most
  up to date science about how we can positively modulate ageing and the im
 plementation of such results to human ageing.
