Mechanisms of Cellular Resilience Symposium

Overview

The ability to recover from injury and other stressors declines as we age. Many of the interventions that promise to slow the rate of aging appear to do so by boosting our cell’s resilience to damage. Understanding the mechanisms responsible for maintaining and enhancing cellular resilience will be essential in the development of anti-aging and pro-regenerative therapies. This 3-day symposium will bring together scientists at the forefront of cellular resilience, aging, and regeneration research to help bridge these disciplines.

Workshop : Building Personal Resilience as a Scientist

Participants will engage in interactive learning experiences based on the four columns of learning by neurobiologist Dr. Deheane – Attention, Active Engagement, Error Feedback and Consolidation. The workshop facilitator will be Dr. Ben Hartwig, a senior facilitator specialized in change management with a focus on resilience, effective communication, and leadership. His drama and improv-based training approach creates a fun and immersive workshop experience. Please visit here for more information.
