Recently we have received an international award for organizing the joint U.S.-Russian scientific workshop on GENEALOGICAL epidemiology of aging and human longevity at Gerontology Research Center, Baltimore on December 7-20, 1996. The purpose of our forthcoming scientific mission in USA is to develop joint research projects on GENEALOGICAL epidemiology of aging and longevity and to submit them for funding. We would like to use this lucky chance and to visit some other gerontological,genealogical and epidemiological centers in USA after the workshop, to present our new scientific results and to discuss the opportunities for scientific collaboration. We already have positive experience with our seminars in USA during the visit in 1993 when the seminars were given at Detroit (The Wayne University), Baltimore (Gerontology Research Center), Fort Worth (University of North Texas Health Science Center at Fort Worth), Hyattsville (National Center for Health Statistics, Centers for Disease Control), Davis (University of California, Davis), Michigan (Barros Research Institute), Palo Alto (Stanford University School of Medicine) and many other places. Recommendations for our seminars could be obtained from: - Dr.James Carey, University of California, Davis, Phone: 916-752-0475. - Dr.Robert Arking, Professor of Biological Sciences at Wayne State University, Detroit. Telephone: 313-577-2873. - Dr. Donald Ingram, Research Psychologist within the Molecular Physiology and Genetics Section of the Gerontology Research Center, NIA, Baltimore. Telephone: 410-558-8178. - Dr. Robert W.Gracy, Associate Dean for Research and Biotechnology. Texas College of Osteopathic Medicine, Graduate School of Biomedical Science. 3500 Camp Bowie Blvd., Fort Worth, TX 76107-2699. Telephone: 817-735-5400. - Dr.Joan F.Van Nostrand, National Center for Health Statistics Coordinator of data on aging, National Center for Health Statistics, Centers for Disease Control, Public Health Service, Hyattsville, Phone: 301-436-7104. - Prof. Barnett Rosenberg, Director of the Barros Research Institute, Holt, Michigan, Phone: 517-694-4788. The seminars are based on our book: THE BIOLOGY OF LIFE SPAN: A QUANTITATIVE APPROACH that was published in USA by Harwood Academic Publishers and has received more than 20 positive reviews in the international scientific journals. Some more recent results used in our seminars are partially published in the following journals: 1. "Parental Age at Reproduction and Offspring Longevity", Reviews in Clinical Gerontology, 1996, vol.6, No.4 (In Press). 2. "A Typical Interdisciplinary Topic: Questions of the Mortality Dynamics", Archives of Gerontology and Geriatrics, 1995, vol.20, No.3, pp.283-293. 3. "Sex and Longevity", Nature, 1994, vol.367, No.6463,p.520. 4. "Fruit Fly Aging and Mortality", Science, 1993, vol.260, No.5114, p.1565. In the case if you are interested in our seminars, please let us know. Our CVs are available upon the request.
