ABOUT
Welcome remarks
We invite you to the IBS Conference on Genetics of Aging and Life History which will be held in Daegu Gyeonbuk Institute of Science and Technology (DGIST) on November 7-9, 2018.
The conference will have 9 invited speakers, who are leaders in the field of aging research. In particular, the main topic of the conference will be comparative biology of aging, which has drawn a significant interest. We will also have a special session on the prebiotic origin of biological molecules, which will provide a new insight in seeing biological processes, such as aging.
