About BSRA 2027

The conference has one central theme: The Biology of Ageing, but with many sub-themes across sessions. The world’s leading experts will give their insights into the biology of ageing. Leading international speakers will present the latest evidence and encourage discussion and interaction, alongside elevated talks from abstract submissions of all career stages. Elevated talks from early career researchers will be eligible for the Korenchevsky Prize (Annual Awards – BSRA). The prize is funded attendance to The American Aging Association (AGE) (americanagingassociation.org) meeting to present their work. Prizes will also be available for the 1st, 2nd and 3rd placed posters. The conference lasts a total of 3 days including:
