For a full list, please see the Program, using the link to the right of the page. Speakers at the ImmInst 2010 International Conference will include:  Dr. Aubrey de Grey  Prof. Dr. Bart Braeckman Internationally known for his research on aging in C. elegans. His team was the first to succeed in increasing the lifespan of C. elegans by sixfold. He has studied everything from calorie restriction to the free radical theory and the metabolic rate theory in C. elegans.
 Dr. Chitty Chen Discovered that the ratio of sugars in the glycan structures on immunoglobulins are an indication of biological age. In other words, she probably discovered the very first age biomarker. This investigation was done in mice and the biomarker seemed to measure the slowing of aging in CR and ames dwarf mice very well. She's now busy in setting up a human study to investigate this biomarker further. If succesfull then this biomarker can one day be used to establish the anti-aging effects of an intervention in humans (such as supplements, drugs, calorie restriction, etc) in a few years instead of decades.
 Mr. Danila Medvedev Chairman of KrioRus, Chief Planning Officer and a Vice-President of the Science for Life Extension Foundation. Also a politician and a member of coordination council of the Russian Transhumanist Movement.
 Mr. David Styles Organiser of the United Kingdom's cryonics emergency standby, stabilisation, and transport services; now working to make these services (and more) available throughout Europe.
 Dr. Leonid Gavrilov A Principal Investigator of the scientific project "Biodemography of Human Longevity", funded by the National Institute on Aging (USA), and the author of over a hundred of scientific publications on related topics. He is also the founder of a new reliability theory of aging and longevity.
 Prof. Dr. Michael Rose Famous for his breeding experiments in Drosophila, Michael Rose is one of the most eminent evolutionary biologists specialized in aging. He has written several books including "The long tomorrow".
 Dr. Natalie Coles A nationally-licenced phlebotomist who has worked for the UCLA Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine for three years. She typically enrolls 200 patients per day in various studies, especially organ-transplant patients. She draws blood samples for DNA analysis and laboratory investigation of Supercentenarian study subjects and their family members.
 Mr. Paul McGlothin Vice President for Research & Director of the calorie restriction society and co-author of "The CR Way".
 Dr. Stephen Coles Co-founder of the Gerontology Research Group, he has performed the most autopsies on supercentenarians in the world and discoverd that senile cardiac TTR amyloidosis, a rare disease, is the main cause of death in these people.
 Dr. Stephen Spindler A celebrated biochemist who has done research on the anti-aging effects of many molecules (about 250) including metformin, simvastatin, everolimus, and metoprolol.
 Mr. Sven Bulterijs A biochemist from the University of Ghent, who is also a Director of the Immortality Institute, and co-founder and Scientific Officer of the Healthy Life Extension Society (HEALES), and Editor-in-Chief of the Heales Journal of Biogerontology.
 Mr. Alexander Tieth Solicitor specialized in international Law and international Relations, concerned with policies of risk assessment and health. His research focuses on the precautionary principle and the European Union.
 Ms. Valerija Pride Transhumanist and President of KrioRus, whose recent scientific work includes work on the very promising Human Aging System Diagram project.
