Promoting and funding research into the biology of ageing so we can all live healthier, longer lives
The BSRA was formed as the ‘Club for Research on Ageing’ by Professor Vladimir Korenchevsky (1880-1959) at some point prior to 1939 and as thus has a valid claim to be the world’s oldest scientific society devoted to research into the biology of ageing.
In 2026, the BSRA will be hosting its 75th Annual Scientific Meeting on The Biology of Ageing in Oxford. Provisional dates are 9th-11th September – to be confirmed very soon. We hope to see you there!
Membership of the BSRA gives you an immediate link to the biogerontology research community in the UK. Included in your membership fee is a discounted rate of registration for our Annual Scientific Meetings and eligibility to apply for grants to support your work.
Your donation, whatever its size, will help us to maintain the vitality and sustainability of this key area of research. As a result, we will see advances in knowledge of the underlying ageing process as well as all-important improvements in quality of later life.
The AMRC is a membership organisation of the leading medical and health research charities in the UK.
Fresh from her trip to Utah, our 2025 Korenchevsky Award winner, Loren Kell, tells us all about it: The British Society for Research on Ageing (BSRA) annual meeting had been on my radar for many years, but the 74th annual meeting in Manchester in 2025 was my first. I was delighted that my abstract had
The BSRA is delighted to announce the award of a record 18 small research grants across 13 UK institutions in its 2026 round, thanks to sponsorship from DoNotAge.org and Quest NutraPharma. Many of the recipients are Early Career Researchers, providing them an essential stepping stone in their careers and increasing their chances of becoming future
The BSRA is committed to funding, supporting and disseminating high quality research into the biology of ageing. Support is available for active researchers with substantive posts at any UK institution or research institutes which are interested in the biology of ageing and who would normally be eligible for membership of the BSRA.
Your donation will help us continue our work to understand the biology of ageing and to develop knowledge that can support healthier ageing for all.
