Aging in the gonad dramatically affects aging in somatic tissues, yet we know little about the mechanisms regulating healthy aging in reproductive organs, nor how this crosstalk is achieved.
The 2024 Reproductive Aging Conference focused on understanding cellular and molecular mechanisms that regulate aging in reproductive tissues and their relationship to overall organismal healthspan and longevity. This is the only international meeting dedicated solely to mechanisms of reproductive aging. This unique meeting showcased research and stimulated collaborations that bridge the disciplines of reproductive biology and aging research to help define new paradigms to accelerate research discovery.
#ReproAging2024 provided a forum for both formal and informal interactions between trainees, faculty, physicians, and industry professionals to promote the exchange of ideas and collaborative synergies. Presentations examined reproductive aging at the molecular, cellular and organismal level, including its molecular drivers, and the effects of genetic and environmental factors on relevant cellular/system properties and interactions across diverse model systems ranging from worms to humans. Panel discussions and breakout sessions brought together scientists tackling this problem from fundamental to clinical angles to brainstorm creative ways to build and strengthen this exciting research field at the intersection of reproductive biology and longevity science.
The 3rd Reproductive Aging Conference was organised by Fusion Conferences. They specialise in meetings within the academic and corporate industry for those working at the forefront of physical, medical, life sciences and their related technologies. They create a platform for informal, workshop style forums delivering a more intense scientific experience unlike other larger style conferences. Their venues are of a very high standard, located in culturally rich areas allowing delegates to explore and socialise outside of the conference, adding to the unforgettable experience of a Fusion conference.
