The Canadian Network for Translational Geroscience is pleased to present its second scientific meeting, an event designed to foster dynamic exchanges among academics, industry stakeholders, healthcare professionals, and individuals interested in promoting longevity and healthy aging.

The  Canadian Translational Geroscience Network is thrilled to present it's  inaugural scientific meeting, an event aimed at fostering dynamic  exchanges among academics, industry stakeholders, healthcare  professionals, and individuals interested in promoting longevity and  healthy aging. This meeting will embrace a translational approach,  bridging laboratory research with practical applications in clinical and  community settings.

The  ''Café Scientifique'' are the result of a grant obtained by the CIHR -  Institute of Aging. These events allow seniors to engage with healthcare  professionals including doctors, physiotherapists, kinesiologists, and  nutritionists on osteoporosis and sarcopenia.

This conference facilitated exchanges between academics, industry, and  health consumers with a shared interest in developing strategies to  extend human lifespan and promote healthy aging. The translational  nature of this conference included a bench-to-bedside and community  approach. This was the first of two meetings on geroscience held in  Canada in October 2023 to facilitate the discussion on various tools and  strategies that had been or were being validated aimed at extending  healthy lifespan and understanding the mechanisms of aging from  biological, clinical, and social perspectives.
