EMBL Symposium - The ageing genome: from mechanisms to disease

Event Date: Jun 10-13, 2025 Event Venue: EMBL Heidelberg and Virtual

Ageing is often considered a complex phenotype that affects multiple organs and tissues in a time-dependent manner. This may result in the aged population consuming a myriad of medications, each aimed to treat, but not cure, the affected tissue. Recent studies have demonstrated that the "Primary Hallmarks of Ageing" are a set of five molecular mechanisms that malfunction, independent of tissue type, and drive ageing. Hence, focusing on these five hallmarks simplifies the efforts to understand ageing-associated disease. This symposium will bring together many diverse fields across topics including the below, and tie them together with the field of ageing biology and its relevant models of ageing.

12th Aging Research and Drug Discovery Meeting (ARDD)

Event Date: August 25-29, 2025 Event Venue: University of Copenhagen, Denmark

The Aging Research for Drug Discovery (ARDD) conference brings together leaders in aging, longevity, and drug discovery to explore the latest advancements in understanding the molecular, cellular, and organismal basis of aging, as well as the search for potential interventions. This year, the conference will feature an exceptional lineup of speakers, including two Nobel Prize winners, and will gather top industry leaders from prominent pharmaceutical companies. The event will continue to spotlight key topics in aging research, with our signature startup pitch session, an Emerging Tech workshop, and a Physics in Aging workshop. Additionally, we will host our stellar Longevity Medicine track, focused specifically on physicians, where cutting-edge clinical interventions for healthy longevity will be presented. ARDD aims to bridge clinical, academic, and industry research to foster collaborations that will lead to practical solutions for one of humanity's most pressing challenges: aging. In line with this mission, the conference will also offer travel grants and short talk opportunities for early-career academic researchers. ARDD remains committed to advancing the knowledge and technologies that can extend the healthy lifespan of people worldwide.
