The Symposium will include eight oral sessions (invited speakers only) and two poster sessions (submitted abstracts) providing a current synthesis of the enormous progress in our understanding of the deterioration of cellular function and structure over time, and its relationship to the broader and more complex phenomenon of aging. The annual Dorcas Cummings lecture will take place on Friday, May 30th. Social events throughout the Symposium provide ample opportunity for informal interactions and will include a wine-and-cheese party, a picnic, and a cocktail banquet on Saturday, May 31st.
