Aging Immune Function and Organ Health 2026 (Videos + PDFs)

Exploring the Intersection of Immunology, Aging Biology, Longevity Science, and Organ Regeneration

Overview

Aging Immune Function and Organ Health 2026 is a cutting-edge scientific conference from Keystone Symposia that explores the central role of the immune system in aging, longevity, tissue regeneration, and organ preservation.

Bringing together world-leading experts in immunology, geroscience, regenerative medicine, molecular biology, and translational therapeutics, the meeting examines how age-related immune dysfunction contributes to chronic inflammation, organ decline, frailty, and age-associated diseases. The conference also highlights emerging therapeutic strategies designed to promote healthy aging, improve organ resilience, and extend healthspan.

A unique feature of this meeting is its integration with research on innate immunity, creating a multidisciplinary environment where scientists and clinicians collaborate to uncover mechanisms that link immune regulation with aging and longevity.
