Systems Biology of Human Aging 2009 Agenda
SBHA 2009 is a meeting attempting to bring together a host of researchers from very different fields, with different approaches, that have a common focus on applying systems biology to aging research. Held at the BRC in Baltimore MD, Decemeber 8th and 9th, 2009.
Registration limited to NIA personnel only! All others interested in attending please e-mail Ms. Taya Dunn at dunnt@grc.nia.nih.gov

Baltimore Area Repair Symposium 2010

The 4th Baltimore Area Repair Symposium (BARS) will be held at Sheppard-Pratt Conference Center in Baltimore, Maryland on March 18th, 2010.  The program will again serve as a forum for spotlighting the most exciting local research efforts in the area of DNA damage and repair and its impact on cancer, virology and the diversity of the immune response.  Outstanding Principal Investigators from The University of Maryland, Johns Hopkins University, and the National Institute on Aging, NIH will be among the invited speakers to present at the upcoming BARS.
