The symposium was further enriched by an engaging presentation from the esteemed recipient of the 2024 Austin Student Scholarship - Ms. Tehila Atlan from the laboratory of Dr. Itamar Harel in the Department of Genetics at the Life Science Institute, and a fascinating keynote lecture by Prof. Valery Krizhanovsky from the Department of Molecular Cell Biology at the Weizmann Institute.

We invite you to explore a set of photos from the event, capturing the dynamic interactions and vibrant exchange of ideas. For those who could not attend or wish to revisit the discussions, the entire symposium was recorded and is available for viewing.

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to Pamela and Paul Austin for sponsoring the event, and to all participants and attendees for making it a remarkable success. Your engagement and enthusiasm are invaluable as we continue to advance research on aging.
