Attending the 1st Scientific Meeting of the Canadian Translational Geroscience Network (CTGN) at the Research Institute of McGill University Health Centre in Montreal was a fantastic learning experience. It provided valuable insights into understanding the biology of aging and age related diseases along with promising approaches to combating the challenges of aging through research. Thank you Schouela CEDurable and Canadian Frailty Network (CFN) and everyone for organizing this event. Thank you Canadian Geriatrics Society for promoting and bringing awareness to it! #Geroscience #healthyAging #CTGN #Longevity

?? Reflecting on an incredible year of growth and learning at six different conferences in the aging research field! Most recently, I had the opportunity to present my research in both a flash talk and a poster session at the Biomarkers of Aging Conference at Harvard Medical School. This conference provided valuable insights into the growing role of machine learning in biomarker design, a key transformative area in aging science. Huge thanks to the organizers, Biomarkers of Aging Consortium, for the opportunity to present my research and to learn about the research of others. This marked my sixth conference of the year, each offering a unique perspective on aging science worldwide: ?? My journey began in Nice, France, at the Developmental Circuits in Aging Workshop, where I gained insights into the European aging research landscape. ?? As an invited speaker at the IV International Conference of Students and Young Scientists at Al-Farabi Kazakh National University, I had the honor of discussing the principles of modern geroscience, emphasizing that aging is a process we can impact—and that’s why it’s crucial to study it. I also gained valuable insights into the research landscape within the Central Asian region, which added a new dimension to my understanding of global perspectives in geroscience. ?? Next, at the Mechanisms of Aging conference at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, I explored international perspectives on mechanistic aging studies, including the latest advances from leading U.S. laboratories. ?? At the Canadian Translational Geroscience Network (CTGN) Meeting, I learned about the current research efforts and directions within Canada. ??? The Glenn Foundation Symposium on the Biology of Aging at Yale University provided a dive into advancements and developments in the Northeastern U.S. region. ?? Finally, the Biomarkers of Aging Conference rounded out the year, spotlighting machine learning methods and their role in advancing biomarker development and application. Each of these conferences has deepened my understanding of aging science, enabled exciting new collaborations, and strengthened existing connections. I’m deeply grateful to my mentor, Dr. Vadim Gladyshev, for the colossal support during my professional journey. His guidance has been instrumental in helping me expand my horizons and refine my perspective on the aging field.
