Systems Immunology in Aging and Complex Diseases

Location: Hybrid - The Jackson Laboratory, Farmington CT, & Virtual

This 2-day meeting brings together leading scientists from across disciplines (immunology, aging, genomics, and computational biology) with shared interests in using systems immunology to understand aging and aging-related diseases. This year will focus on “Sex Differences in Aging from Reproductive to Immune System”.

Virtual and in-person attendance are available for this hybrid event. In-person activities will take place at The Jackson Laboratory for Genomic Medicine in Farmington, Connecticut.

Registration is Open

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.
