Foresight Nanotechnology Conference Starts This Weekend

Fight Aging!

Do you want to live a longer life in good health? Simple practices can make some difference, such as exercise or calorie restriction. But over the long haul all that really matters is progress in medicine: building new classes of therapy to repair and reverse the known root causes of aging. The sooner these treatments arrive, the more lives will be saved. Find out how to help »

By way of a reminder, the 13th Foresight Conference on Advanced Nanotechnology will be starting this weekend in San Francisco. If you look at the program, you'll see that biomedical gerontologist Aubrey de Grey is speaking this Saturday and Sunday on the use of nanotechnology in the future of healthy life extension. The event is also a chance to hear Ralph Merkle discuss the nuts and bolts of advanced nanomedicine.

You'll find much more on this topic over at the Longevity Meme and in the Fight Aging! archives.

UPDATE: You'll find a timely interview with Christine Peterson of the Foresight Nanotech Institute over at the Speculist.
