International Conference of Geneticists
opens in Sochi on Monday

Ulyana Grebennikova, RIA NovostiLeading scientists will gather in Sochi Olympic Park for the third international conference "Genetics of Aging and Longevity".

For three days they will discuss the problem of aging and the possibility of prolonging longevity.

The conference, organized by the Russian foundation "Science for Life Extension", will be attended by the largest researchers of the mechanisms of aging and longevity, the nature of cancer and other age-related diseases from dozens of countries.

"Today, many researchers consider aging as a deadly disease from which a person can be cured if we learn how to eliminate its biological causes. The main ones are related to the work of genes. It's time to build a unified map of the mechanisms of aging and develop a common program of actions aimed at prolonging life," the organizers said in a statement.

The conference in Sochi will be attended not only by the stars of world science, but also by entrepreneurs and investors whose goal is to create a business that prolongs people's life and youth, as well as journalists and public figures.
