| Sirtuin Biochemistry: The Biological Chemistry of Aging | |||
| The session is intended to discuss the latest developments in this field. Sirtuins have recently been implicated in increasing longevity when activated (either genetically or through small molecules), and as such have high interest as research topics in the academia and industry. | |||
