A multidisciplinary group of specialists in healthspan and longevity research will collaborate with those tackling the challenges of atomically-precise 3D structures and molecular machines, including construction pathways using chemistry, applied physics, biochemistry, molecular biology, and engineering.

 

Areas to be addressed include furthering the human healthspan via the design and construction of complex structures and molecular machines built via organic and inorganic synthesis; objects and devices constructed from DNA, RNA, proteins, or biomimetic polymers; construction via scanning probe; and other approaches to building with increasing precision from the bottom up.

 

Your participation should bring the following benefits:

1. To assist you in finding the best multi-disciplinary researchers pursuing your areas of interest

2. To speed your evaluation of these new contacts via real-time interactions at the meeting

3. To stimulate entirely new, fundable research projects and work on actual research proposals

4. To explore new funding sources

 

The participation includes an invitation to the Feynman Prize Award Ceremony on the evening of Saturday, September 16.

To encourage cutting-edge discussion, we'll be following the Chatham House Rule for the majority of the event, as it is used at the World Economic Forum's meeting in Davos. This will allow you to speak freely on any topic without concern that your comments might be attributed to you without your express permission. The final white paper may contain a list of participants and their affiliations.

To aid our preparation of a written event whitepaper, we will be doing audio recording throughout the event -- this is for reference only and will not be made public. Separately, if you're willing, we'd appreciate your making some brief informal remarks on video regarding your views of the event and its topic. Every participant will be asked to sign a Waiver, Indemnity and Release Form, but participation in the video is entirely voluntary. You will have the opportunity to contribute to individual whitepapers and reports where you will be credited as an author.
