This meeting will:
- Bring together leaders in the field of “molecular and cellular mechanisms of cell senescence and aging”, to allow knowledge exchange and to promote new collaborative interactions.
- Establish an interface and communication between members of the NIH-funded SenNet consortium and other US and international researchers working on similar/related/complementary topics, but not part of SenNet. SenNet is an NIH-funded consortium of investigators dedicated to building single cell and spatial maps of senescent cells in young and old human and mouse tissues.
- Provide a forum for junior scientists to meet and interact with senior established members of the field, to promote career development of the former.
- Attain these Objectives with an emphasis on Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) to foster a broad and inclusive research community.
