Promoting and funding research into the biology of ageing so we can all live healthier, longer lives
The BSRA was formed as the ‘Club for Research on Ageing’ by Professor Vladimir Korenchevsky (1880-1959) at some point prior to 1939 and as thus has a valid claim to be the world’s oldest scientific society devoted to research into the biology of ageing.
In 2024, the BSRA is pleased to be hosting its annual general meeting at the University of Birmingham. The conference will take place in the Medical School which is one of Britain’s largest and oldest.
Membership of the BSRA gives you an immediate link to the biogerontology research community in the UK. Included in your membership fee is a discounted rate of registration for our Annual Scientific Meetings and eligibility to apply for grants to support your work.
Your donation, whatever its size, will help us to maintain the vitality and sustainability of this key area of research. As a result, we will see advances in knowledge of the underlying ageing process as well as all-important improvements in quality of later life.

The British Society for Research on Ageing (BSRA) is calling for the general public to support research to help people stay healthier for longer, as an alternative to charities that support research on diseases. The greatest risk factor for disease is ageing, but we have very little charitable support
By Diana Marcu, winner of the British Society of Research on Ageing Korenchevsky Award 2022 I have always found public speaking terrifying, but was also aware that it is a necessary part of being a scientist. At the British Society of Research on Ageing (BSRA) meeting 2022, I built up the courage to make it
The BSRA is committed to funding, supporting and disseminating high quality research into the biology of ageing. Support is available for active researchers with substantive posts at any UK institution or research institutes which are interested in the biology of ageing and who would normally be eligible for membership of the BSRA.
Your donation will help us continue our work to understand the biology of ageing and to develop knowledge that can support healthier ageing for all.
