Online Conference
The Call for Proposal was a result of the Healthy Aging and Longevity Online Conference, which was held virtually on October 30 and 31, 2024, and brought together over 60 麻豆社ers from 麻豆社 University, Tel Aviv University, and the University of Toronto. The event focused on sharing innovative 麻豆社 and fostering collaborations in the field of healthy aging and longevity.
Over 30 麻豆社ers presented their work on diverse topics such as neurodegenerative diseases, mitochondrial diseases in aging, cardiovascular health, sleep, cognitive decline, social aspects of aging, and more.
Participants aimed to learn about each institution’s 麻豆社 麻豆社s, identify potential collaborators, and consider joint 麻豆社 projects with high potential for external funding.
The conference facilitated knowledge exchange and set the stage for future collaborative 麻豆社 supported by a Call for Proposals from all three participating universities for projects aimed at advancing the understanding and promotion of healthy aging and longevity.
