3:00 - 4:00 PM E3-270 Keynote LecturerAging is No Longer an Unsolved Problem in Biology Leonard Hayflick, University of California, San Francisco, USA Mini-Biography He is a member of many professional societies and is a past President of the Gerontological Society of America. He is a founding member of the Council of the National Institute on Aging, NIH and Chairman of its' Executive Committee. He was a consultant to the National Cancer Institute, the World Health Organization and was Editorial-in-Chief of “Experimental Gerontology” for thirteen years. Dr. Hayflick is best known for his breakthrough research in cell biology, virus vaccine development and mycoplasmology. He overturned a sixty year old dogma by showing that cultured normal human and animal cells have a limited capacity to replicate and that only cancer cells are immortal. This former is known today as “The Hayflick Limit.” This discovery revealed the mortal cell to be the location of fundamental age changes and that immortality was a property of cancer cells. The molecular basis for the Hayflick Limit is now known to be telomere attrition and the immortality of cancer cells to depend on the expression of telomerase. Dr. Hayflick’s work in virus vaccine research revolutionized the way human vaccines are produced. He developed the first normal human diploid cell strain (WI-38) that became widely used for aging research. He showed that WI-38 was also the safest substrate for the production of human virus vaccines and made the first licensed oral polio vaccine on a continuously propagated cell strain. WI-38, or copies of it, have been used to safely immunize almost one billion people against such virus diseases as poliomyelitis, rubella, rubeola, varicella, mumps, measles, rabies, adenoviruses and hepatitis A. Dr. Hayflick is also well known for his discovery of the cause of primary atypical pneumonia (“Walking Pneumonia”). He discovered that the etiological agent is a mycoplasma,- the smallest free living microorganism and named the agent, Mycoplasma pneumoniae. Dr. Hayflick is also the author of the popular book “How and Why We Age”, published in 1994 in nine countries. 4:00 - 4:30 PM
Coffee Break Wednesday, June 18, 2008
4:30 - 6:30 PM E3-262 Sponsored by: Danone Institute Canada Symposium I Nutrition as a determinant of successful aging

11:30 AM - 1:00 PM E3-262 Sponsored by: Canadian Society of Exercise Physiology Symposium XPhysical Activity Guidelines for Canadian Older
Adults |
| Wednesday, June 18, 2008 The Future is Aging: The goal of this session is to expand the dialogue
between Canadian bio-scientists and the CIHR Institute of Aging.
Dr. Anne Martin-Matthews, Scientific Director of the Institute of
Aging will open the hour with an overview of the strategic directions
of the Institute including opportunities for funding in support
of research, capacity-building, workshops,, and other knowledge
translation and exchange activities. Participants will then be invited
to discuss with the Institute and members of its Advisory Board,
ideas for enhancing basic and multidisciplinary research on aging
in Canada, and offer suggestion on how the Institute might better
engage this research community. |

| Friday, June 20, 2008
2:00 - 5:00 PM E2-350 Measuring Physical Activity:
A Hands-on Workshop This workshop will familiarize the participant
with various physical activity measurement techniques and provide
the neuromuscular and mechanical foundations of these techniques.
Mechanical and electronic pedometry, accelerometry, heart rate,
and GPS will be addressed. Case examples will be provided with each
participant supplied with raw and processed data files. Technique
comparisons will be highlighted with benefits and limitations illustrated.
Demonstrations of the equipment and associated techniques will be
provided. Signal processing and data analysis and reduction methods
will be shown. |
