AFAR convened three scientific meetings in Santa Barbara, California. At the Paul F. Glenn Symposium on the Biology of Aging, forty recipients of AFAR supported grants in the biology of aging presented their research and participated in scientific and career development sessions. AFAR and the Glenn Foundation for Medical Research also gathered a small group of leaders in biology, public health, and economics for a symposium on the role that aging research can play in the prevention of chronic disease. This was the fourth Glenn/AFAR workshop.
Former grantees studying Alzheimer’s disease also gathered for the New Investigator’s in Alzheimer’s Disease Grantee Meeting. The group shared their research and experiences as new investigators and discussed opportunities for linking Alzheimer’s disease research with treatment, clinical management, prevention, and policy change. The meeting and program are sponsored by The Rosalinde and Arthur Gilbert Foundation and the Diane and Guilford Glazer Foundation.
