Following the success of previous years, join us for our flagship multidisciplinary webinar on the Biology of ageing featuring leading experts in the field. 

As we advance in medical knowledge and clinical practice, it is crucial to understand the cellular and systemic changes that occur with ageing. This webinar will provide valuable insights into how the biology of ageing influences disease presentation, frailty, and clinical decision-making. The key lecture will include The ageing immune system, cell biology and ageing, and the new guidelines on heart failure in the elderly.

By attending this webinar, you will learn about:

  • The common systems that are affected in the biology of ageing
  • The growth areas in the biology of ageing
  • Cell biology and ageing

This webinar is available for on-demand viewing. The webinar recording will be available for registered event participants up to 60 days after the live webinar broadcast via Zoom. The link will be sent 24 hours after the webinar takes place.
