The Philip and Sima Needleman Center for Autophagy Therapeutics and Research is a new initiative at Washington University School of Medicine dedicated to developing novel therapeutics that harness autophagy, a fundamental cellular pathway that has been implicated in age-dependent degeneration, cognitive decline, atherosclerosis, diabetes, obesity, infections, inflammatory diseases and cancer.

The Symposium will highlight the work of the center’s founding members as well as of speakers who are prominent leaders in the field — work that has generated exciting new ideas for how the autophagy pathway can be probed as an appealing and dynamic platform for development of new anti-aging therapies.
