Summary

The Fifth Geroscience Summit, hosted by NIA on December 2-3, 2026, revisits the Geroscience Hypothesis with a focus on health. Geroscience is an interdisciplinary field targeting biological aging pathways to prevent or reverse chronic diseases and functional decline in older adults. The summit brings together researchers and clinicians across career stages to discuss advances in understanding aging biology and translating these into interventions. NIH supports this field through research funding, training, and the Geroscience Interest Group (GSIG).
