in the aging research field.
Attendees include many decision
makers, such as academic department chairs,
heads of laboratories, government
officials, attending
clinicians, private practitioners,
post-docs, MD and PhD students and
technicians.
You will be hard pressed to

PRE-MEETING
SYMPOSIUM
The pre-meeting symposium this year
is entitled Therapeutic
Intervention in the Aging Process
and is organized by Randy Strong,
Donald Ingram, James Nelson and
Richard Miller. It is supported in
part by generous contributions from
the Ellison Foundation and
Sirtris
Pharmaceuticals.
The meeting is timely in that it
addresses recent research on basic
biology of aging that points to new
opportunities for pharmacological
intervention in the aging process.
This meeting will be different from
other meetings of this type, in that
it does not address therapeutics for
diseases of aging, but instead
explores how to use recent advances
in mechanisms of life extension
(e.g. manipulation of single genes
in critical pathways that confer
longevity) to design new
therapeutic strategies to increase
lifespan and slow aging.
The meeting is organized into four
sessions:
-
The first session will discuss
strategies for identification
of new therapeutic targets,
-
the second will discuss
high-throughput screens of
chemical libraries,
-
the third session will highlight
the results of preclinical
studies on interventions
designed to extend lifespan in
mammalian models,
-
and the fourth will highlight
use of data from human studies
to find new therapeutic targets.
We look
forward to seeing you at these four
sessions and joining our discussions
and networking opportunities!

2007 AGE AWARD WINNERS
 2007
Denham Harman Research Award Winner
Allen Taylor, PhD -
USDA Human Nutrition Research on Aging at Tufts
University
With
over 170 publications and 5 concurrent grants,
Dr. Taylor heads one of the top nutrition and
vision research laboratories in the USA.
In
addition to his many other awards, Dr. Taylor
has been a Senior Fulbright Fellow and has made
consistent contributions to the area of vision
and aging on many levels from the molecular to
the clinical. His contributions are and have
been innovative and have opened up new areas of
investigation, which were followed by other
investigators. The ramifications of his work
are very important as we try to extend healthy
aging.
2007
Distinguished Achievement Award
Edward Masoro,
PhD - University of Texas Health Science
Center at San Antonio
Dr.
Ed Masoro has been a leading figure in the study

Program. This program, based on the
Brookdale National Fellowship program, was
created to encourage the emerging leaders in
the field of aging. The Leadership in
Aging Fellowship provides two years of
support to junior academics to focus on a
project that will help establish them in an
area of aging research. The Fellowship is
open to a broad range of disciplines
including medical, biological and basic
sciences, anthropology, political science,
public administration, architecture, urban
planning, public health, social work,
nursing, business and economics, law, social
and public policy, communications,
psychology, philosophy, ethics, sociology
and any other area related to the field of
aging.
We seek
candidates who have: (1) leadership
potential; (2) an ongoing commitment to a
career in aging; (3) a mentor (or mentors);
(4) and who will commit at least 75% of his
or her time for career development during
each of the two years of the Fellowship.
The award* is a
two-year grant paid to the candidate’s
sponsoring institution in support of the
candidate’s research project. The grant
amount of up to $125,000 each year is
intended to cover 75% of the Fellow’s time,
base salary and fringe benefits.
The Fellowship
application and guidelines will be available
on this website in September 2007. The
deadline for the application is Friday,
November 9, 2007 at 5 pm EST. The
finalists will interview with the
Foundation’s board of directors in March
2008.
For additional
information contact Nora O'Brien at
norao@brookdalefoundation.org.
The American
Diabetes Association (ADA)-Association of
Subspecialty Professors (ASP) Young
Investigator Innovation Award in Geriatric
Endocrinology provides grant support to
new investigators. This program supports
entry-level faculty to integrate geriatrics
with novel basic, clinical, or health
services diabetes research. This award
supports pilot studies that may lack
preliminary data, but offer considerable
promise for the cure, prevention, or
treatment of diabetes in an aging
population. Awards are a maximum of
$75,000 per year for up to two years. No
indirect costs may be requested.
Deadline:
July 16, 2007 for January 1, 2008 funding
and January 15, 2008 for July 1, 2008
funding.

21st Symposium of The Protein
Society—Proteins: From Birth to Death
Boston, MA, U.S.A.
http://www.proteinsociety.org/symposium21st
The theme of the meeting Proteins: From Birth to
Death will follow the life and works of proteins
in the cell, from their birth on ribosomes,
throughout their maturation through folding with
and without the help of chaperones to their
ultimate demise through misfolding and
degradation. Sessions will discuss the dynamic
properties and functions of folded proteins, the
relation of protein conformation to disease and
their role in epigenetic inheritance. Sessions
will also highlight emerging approaches to study
proteins and proteomes, ranging from single
molecules to the study of proteins in their
cellular context.
