The Geroscience Los Angeles Meeting (GLAM), is a trainee-focused meeting, with the purpose to help unite and synergize the geroscience community in the greater LA area. The LA area hosts a rich panel of aging research laboratories, across top research institutions including (but not limited to) the USC Leonard Davis School of Gerontology, UCLA, Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, Caltech, UCR, UCI and UCSB. GLAM’s goal is to bring trainees together across these campuses to participate in this new and innovative platform. The keynote address will be presented by Cedars-Sinai investigator, Helen Goodridge, PhD.
