Systems Immunology in Aging and Complex Diseases - Virtual Event

September 9 - 10

This 2-day live, virtual meeting will break down silos of specialization and will coalesce leading scientists from three disciplines (immunology, aging and computational biology) with shared interests in understanding aging at the systems level and in curing aging-related diseases. Topics that will be covered will include senescence, immune system aging, cognitive decline with aging, and clinical and genomic biomarkers of aging. In addition, there will be talks on recent advances in genomic technologies such as single cell profiling technologies and microbiome profiling. Participants will have access to recordings and meeting content for two weeks after the meeting ends.

About

Aging is a complex and multi-dimensional phenotype that affects all tissues of all organisms. In humans, aging–related diseases, including cardiovascular diseases, cancer and type 2 diabetes, pose a huge health and economic burden, which will continue to increase as the aging population is expected to double by 2030. Disruption of immune cell functions and responses plays a significant role in the etiology of many aging-related diseases. Recent advances in genomic technologies (e.g., single cell transcriptomics and epigenomics) enable precise description of molecular and cellular changes associated with aging in human cells as well as in model organisms, including the mouse. However, uncovering the functional and clinical significance of these genomic and cellular changes is a significant computational challenge.

This 2-day virtual meeting integrates three disciplines (immunology, aging and computational biology) in order to understand aging at the systems level and to address curing of aging-related diseases. Highlighted topics include senescence, immune system aging, cognitive decline with aging, recent advances in genomic technologies, and clinical and genomic biomarkers of aging.

The 2021 meeting schedule is not yet finalized. Please view the 2020 meeting schedule below for an idea of format and content.

Participants will have access to meeting content and recordings for two weeks after the meeting ends.

Alternatively, you can follow the registration on your mobile device. Thank you for your understanding as we troubleshoot this technical difficulty.

Group Registration:

If you are registering for a group, you can add additional attendees to your registration and pay together at once. Based on the number of people registered, an automatic discount will be applied. If you prefer for individuals of a group to register on their own, please contact the event planner for instructions (contact info below). Please see our Group Registration page for additional details and instructions.

Scholarships: Scholarships available for this course are made possible by the Howard Hughes Medical Institute, NIH Grants, foundation awards and gifts or donations to The Jackson Laboratory. The Jackson Laboratory strongly encourages students, post-doctoral fellows, or junior faculty from populations under-represented in the biomedical sciences to register, with a preference for those currently enrolled in or working at a U.S. institution. Underrepresented populations are defined by the National Institutes of Health, see NIH NOT-OD-20-031 for definitions.

During registration please include a brief statement to describe your financial need for reduced registration fees, including any employer or institutional support that may be available to you. If adequate criteria is met, the scholarship will be automatically approved and the amount due will be reduced to $25.

*Regardless of registration type, a minimum payment of 50% will be due at the time of registration via credit card. If you need to pay by wire or check please contact the event planner (contact info below) in advancing of completing registration.

Cancellation Policy:

In order to receive a refund on registration, written cancellation (via email) must be received prior to the start date of the course. Refunds will be subject to administrative fees as follows:
-If cancelled prior to 30 days from the course start date, you will be refunded your registration fee less a $10 administrative fee
-If cancelled 7-29 days prior to the course start date, you will be refunded 50% of your registration fee
-If cancelled less than 7 days prior to the course start date, no refund is available

If registered attendee is not able to participate in the course but would like to send a qualified colleague in their place, JAX will transfer the registration fee to a colleague's at no additional price.
