Connecting Boston's aging research community

Aging Initiative

Neuroscience of Vitality and Aging (NOVA) Conference

), is the premier event in 2026 focused on brain aging and age-related neurodegenerative conditions. 

 will take place on April 25, 2026 from 8:30 AM to 5 PM, and will feature leading researchers, clinicians, biotech entrepreneurs, and patient advocacy leaders. Throughout panel discussions, inspirational keynotes, and workshop sessions attendees will engage deeply with the frontier of brain aging research and translation. 

​These sessions will cover recent clinical breakthroughs in neurodegenerative disease therapeutics, regenerative and stem-cell–based approaches, neurotechnology and BCIs, investment and policy shifts, and strategies to preserve cognitive function across the lifespan. 

​This event is open to individuals of all career stages. Attendance is free of charge thanks to our generous sponsors, although

note: registration approval is required to attend!

​The Aging Initiative is a 501c3 nonprofit organization based in Boston. We actively build community across the New England aging research ecosystem, and through NOVA, are aiming to address a critical gap in the brain-aging field: the lack of accessible, integrative forums that connect clinical translation and real-world implementation.
