2026 Biomarkers of Aging Conference
October 5-6, 2026
@ The Joseph B Martin Conference Center at Harvard Medical School
The Biomarkers of Aging Consortium supports the global geroscience community by creating standardized, clinically validated ways to measure aging and assess intervention outcomes. Its work helps give the field the tools needed to turn longevity interventions into safe and effective therapies.

Present Your Poster
Your opportunity to engage with attendees, share research, and start conversations that can lead to future collaborations.
How it works:
The Biomarkers of Aging Consortium will choose posters to be presented during Day 1 and Day 2 of the Conference.
Your submission should consist of a short but descriptive title not exceeding 200 characters, a list of authors and affiliations, and an abstract not exceeding 250 words. The abstract is unreferenced and must consist of text only.
Top submissions are eligible for either a 10 minute talk or a 1 minute flash talk. This will provide presenters the unique opportunity to share their work in front of an audience of the leading researchers in the field of biomarkers of aging.
There will be a poster prize selected by a jury of experts, and the winner will receive a prize.
Format: Suggested poster format dimensions are 36" x 48"
Work describing the following themes are most relevant for the Conference:
Novel generation or discovery of biomarkers measuring aging or healthspan.
Methods for improved understanding of currently existing age biomarkers on physical, biological, or mechanistic grounds.
Application and comparison of currently existing biomarkers for measuring age or healthspan in cohort studies. This may include the application of current biomarkers to unique datasets, as well as the use of combinations of biomarkers to yield unique insights.
Effect of longevity interventions on biomarkers of aging.
Use of innovative AI tools for aging research and biomarker development.
