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.
Save the date! In 2026, the BSRA will be hosting its 75th Annual Scientific Meeting in Oxford. Provisional dates are 9th-11th September to be confirmed very soon!
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 AMRC is a membership organisation of the leading medical and health research charities in the UK.
200 delegates from across the ageing research field came together at Manchester Metropolitan University for 3 days in September for the BSRA’s 74th Annual Scientific Meeting. Coordinated by local organiser, BSRA Trustee Paul Morgan, this year’s ASM included renowned international keynote speakers, researchers from almost 20 UK institutions, talented early-career researchers and over 60 poster
Professor David Weinkove, Chair of the British Society for Research on Ageing (BSRA), will be representing the Society at Nutra Healthspan Summit on the 12th-13th November in London, an international gathering bringing together scientists, industry leaders in the nutrition space, and innovators working to extend healthy human lifespan. His attendance signals an important step in
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.
