Masoro-Barshop Conference on Aging 2026

Masoro-Barshop Conference on Aging was held at The Mayan Dude Ranch in Bandera, Texas.

The organizer identified geroscience researchers and aging biology scientists as the audience.

It was most useful for geroscience researchers and trainees who wanted close discussion of one thematic area, since the speaker list paired UT San Antonio faculty with investigators from the Buck Institute, NIH, the University of Washington and the University of Alabama at Birmingham, and the setting was described as informal to encourage discussion. Clinicians or industry staff looking for a broad survey of aging research, or a large exhibit-driven meeting, would have gotten less from a rotating single-theme meeting at a ranch venue in Bandera.

Attendees at academic research meetings held at ranch-style venues usually wear casual clothes, such as jeans or chinos with a collared shirt or sweater.
