International Symposium 2022
July 11-12, 2022
Lecture Halls MC4 and MC5, MED CAMPUS Graz

We are looking forward to welcoming well-known national and international experts at the Medical University of Graz to gain a translational perspective on aging research, combining the knowledge obtained from different in vitro and in vivo aging models.

A hands-on workshop on new microscopy techniques by Next Generation Fluorescence Imaging (NGFI GmbH) supplementing the lecture program will take place in parallel to the poster session.
Please find the poster abstracts here.

The organizers:
Corina Madreiter-Sokolowski
Karin Osibow
Wolfgang F. Graier
