2026 Biomarkers of Aging Conference

October 5-6, 2026
@ Harvard Medical School

Tickets coming soon!

Anti-aging therapies are nearing the clinic. But without validated tools to measure aging, progress stalls. Our annual conference brings together global leaders in geroscience to advance reliable biomarkers of aging as validated tools, needed to evaluate longevity interventions.

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 will be selected to present their work in a 10-minute short talk. Poster presenters will have the opportunity to present 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 cash 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.
