We are pleased to announce that funding just received from the Japanese Society of Anti-Aging Medicine will make it possible to provide registration subsidies for a limited number of researchers from Asia who would like to attend the Keystone Symposia conference on Aging and Mechanisms of Aging-Related Disease taking place May 15-19, 2017 at the Pacifico Yokohama in Yokohama, Japan. Organized by Drs. Kazuo Tsubota of Keio University School of Medicine, Shin-ichiro Imai of Washington University School of Medicine, Matt Kaeberlein of the University of Washington and Joan Mannick of Novartis Institutes for BioMedical Research, the four-day conference will:

    - Cover essential aspects of aging/longevity research, including critical signaling pathways and regulators, inter-tissue communication, stem cells, stress and damage responses, cellular senescence, physiological rhythms, human genetics and mental well-being;
   -  Particularly focus on metabolic regulation, including mitochondria, NAD+, oxidative stress, inflammation, protein homeostasis, autophagy and many other age-associated pathophysiologies;
    - Explore how new societal and lifestyle phenomena are impacting aging, such as how the heavy use of blue light in cell phones and tablet computers may be altering physiological rhythms and metabolism, promoting age-associated diseases such as obesity, diabetes, cancer and depression.

More information about the conference program can be found at www.keystonesymposia.org/17E2. To apply, please send an email with your Name, Occupation, Degree, Institute, Area of Research or Study, and a short statement explaining why attending this meeting would benefit your research, training or career goals to awards@keystonesymposia by March 15, 2017 at midnight US Mountain Time.
