Experts discuss the science of ageing
Symposium: Should we treat ageing like a disease?
Event location
German Heart Center Munich
Public event
Target audience
specialist audience
Animal studies suggest that ageing can be treated like a disease. But what about human longevity trials? Should future physicians treat ageing – a natural process? Would eternal youth through new treatments be the ultimate disease prevention? Are there ethical reasons against intervening? At this free specialist event, international scientists will explain the latest research findings and discuss how we can best deal with these big questions. Prior registration is not necessary.
