Edmonton Aging Symposium - Repairing the Damage

 
  September 12, 2006  
     
 


University of Alberta, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada
March 30-31, 2007


This symposium is designed to bring an awareness of the rapid pace of the development of intervention-oriented therapies in age-related dysfunction to the non-scientist and the lab-hardened researcher alike, as well as draw the attention of policy-makers to the massive economic benefits available to those who create an environment where these technologies can be developed and implemented at all possible speed. Alberta is in a unique and precarious position, with billions of dollars in surplus revenue from a non-renewable resource. It is hoped that this symposium will provide some food for thought as to long-term future directions where some of this surplus might be put to work to develop an industry based on a more renewable resource, technology providing the universal consumables of relief and time to a suffering and globally aging population.
