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 2025 Reproductive Aging Conference will focus 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 will showcase research and stimulate collaborations that bridge the disciplines of reproductive biology and aging research to help define new paradigms to accelerate research discovery.

#ReproAging2025 will provide 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 will examine 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 will bring 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.

Be part of #ReproAging2025! Space is limited. For this reason, attendance is prioritized for scientists and medical professionals from both industry and academia. Top consideration will be given to presenters, diversity, trainees, and junior faculty.
