The 2021 Oklahoma GeroScience Symposium focuses on recent advances using nutritional and pharmacological manipulations to extend the lifespan of mice and how these manipulations alter the healthspan and age-related diseases in mice. Dr. Jay Olshansky will be the keynote speaker and will describe estimates of the upper limits to human longevity and exploring the health and public policy implications associated with aging.
