Mechanisms of Aging (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)
September 22–26, 2026
Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory | Cold Spring Harbor, NY
This long-running Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory meeting brings together leading investigators to explore the molecular and cellular mechanisms that regulate aging. The program spans fundamental biology through systems-level processes, with topics including metabolism, epigenetics, proteostasis, brain aging, and stem cell biology.
Organized by Rozalyn Anderson (UW–Madison), William Mair (Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health), and Ashley Webb (Buck Institute for Research on Aging), the meeting includes oral sessions featuring invited and abstract-selected speakers, along with poster sessions.
The conference is well suited for both faculty and trainees interested in fundamental mechanisms of aging and emerging directions in the field.
Key Details:
- Abstract submission deadline: July 22, 2026
- Opportunities for oral presentations selected from abstracts
- Poster sessions and trainee participation encouraged
