AGING AND CARDIOMETABOLIC HEALTH AND DISEASE RESEARCH SYMPOSIUM

DECEMBER 3, 2019 | 2:00 PM – 5:30 PM | MARSHALL A. WOLF CONFERENCE ROOM & HALE CAFE ATRIUM

ABOUT THE EVENT

The Cardiovascular, Diabetes and Metabolic Disorders Center at the Brigham Research Institute will be hosting a research symposium on aging as it relates to cardiometabolic health and disease, which will feature keynote speaker James Mitchell, PhD, Professor of Genetics and Complex Diseases at the Harvard School for Public Health, renowned for his work on dietary restriction and its effects on life span and metabolic fitness. To build bridges between institutions and promote collaborations around this important multidisciplinary topic, the event will be open to all and will feature an interactive program with several short talks and up to 30 posters selected from submitted abstracts. To promote vibrant scientific discussions, researchers from all institutions are invited to submit an abstract for the chance to give a short talk or present a poster.

 

Researchers from all institutions are invited to
submit an abstract to present a poster or give a short talk.

ABOUT THE KEYNOTE SPEAKER

James Mitchell, PhD

Professor of Genetics & Complex Diseases
Harvard T. H. Chan School of Public Health

James R. Mitchell is Professor of Genetics & Complex Diseases at Harvard T. H. Chan School of Public Health. He received his PhD from the University of California at Berkeley on human telomerase biochemistry, and postdoctoral training at Erasmus Medical Center in Rotterdam, the Netherlands on the genetics of DNA repair and aging. The Mitchell lab studies nutritional, genetic and molecular mechanisms of adaptive stress resistance, with a primary focus on dietary restriction. Dr. Mitchell’s long-term goal is to translate knowledge of anti-aging mechanisms towards improving human health.

Faculty interested in meeting with Dr. Mitchell, please email Trey Toombs 

Fellows and trainees interested in meeting Dr. Mitchell are invited to join him for lunch. The lunch will happen on December 3rd from 12:30 – 1:45 PM. The location will be given out a couple days before the lunch through a confirmation email.
