Conferences and symposiums Young ICSA conference
07-05-2025 5:00 pm Add to iCal

We welcome researchers to the first yICSA symposium in Sweden at the Karolinska Institutet. A premier opportunity for early career scientists to network with their peers, present their work, and interact with leaders in the field of cellular senescence.
yICSA is the early-career component of ICSA, the worlds largest research association on cellular senescence. After three successful symposia in the UK between 2021 and 2023, the yICSA symposium will be expanding to Europe this year, and will be at the Karolinska Institutet on Tuesday the 6th and Wednesday the 7th of May, in Eva & Georg Klein in Biomedicum.
Joining us at the conference are two wonderful keynote speakers: Prof. Kirsty Spalding & Dr. Manuel Collado.
There are opportunities to take part in the form of oral and poster presentations. Travel awards are available following abstract review and top presentations will be awarded prizes during the meeting. Catering will be provided.
