The Quest for Extended Youth
Bar-Ilan University to host four-day international conference exploring the future of healthy longevity
Newswise — Later this month Bar-Ilan University will host an international conference dedicated to the advancement of research, development and education in the field of healthy longevity. The conference, entitled “Longevity Nation 2024 – Enhancing Research, Development and Education for Healthy Longevity”, will bring together leading voices in longevity research from around the world. It will take place from October 28-31 on the Bar-Ilan University campus in Ramat Gan, Israel.

Notable speakers will include:
Prof. Haim Cohen (Goodman Faculty of Life Sciences, Bar-Ilan University), who is researching the protein SIRT6. In his lab, mice engineered to produce extra SIRT6 don't just live longer – they stay healthier for longer, too. Cohen's research is shedding light on how SIRT6 helps maintain healthy aging, particularly by providing the required energy at old age and slowing aging-related frailty. This work could pave the way for new therapies that boost SIRT6 activity in humans.
Repurposing Old Drugs for New Tricks
Dr. Nir Barzilai (Albert Einstein College of Medicine) focuses on repurposing existing FDA-approved drugs for their potential anti-aging properties. One example is the diabetes drug metformin, which has been shown to provide broader health benefits, and potentially slowing the aging process itself.
