The 4th Strategies for Engineered Negligible Senescence (SENS) conference will be held a little less than a year from now in Cambridge, England, with registration opening at the end of this year. Mark your calendars:
The purpose of the SENS conference series, like all the SENS initiatives (such as the journal Rejuvenation Research and the Mprize), is to expedite the development of truly effective therapies to postpone and treat human aging by tackling it as an engineering problem: not seeking elusive and probably illusory magic bullets, but instead enumerating the accumulating molecular and cellular changes that eventually kill us and identifying ways to repair -- reverse -- those changes, rather than merely to slow down their further accumulation.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 each evening in the conservatory adjacent to the bar, with the customary free alcohol.
You might want to take a look at the archives for SENS3, the last conference in the series, for examples of what to expect - the presentation videos are especially worthy of attention. Additionally, you'll find links to SENS3 conference reports back in the Fight Aging! archives.
