International Cell Senescence Association

Pathophysiology of Senescence, from Development to Aging

March 16 – 19, 2027

Palacio de la Escuela de Medicina, Historic Center, Mexico City

A global and Ibero-American scientific community advancing the understanding of senescence.

About the Event

Pathophysiology of Senescence, from Development to Aging

Cellular senescence sits at the crossroads of development, tissue repair, and aging — a program that can protect us and, when dysregulated, drive disease. IberoICSA’s inaugural in-person symposium brings together the scientists shaping this field to explore senescence across the full arc of life, from its physiological roles in embryogenesis to its contribution to aging and age-related pathology.

This is a landmark moment for our community: the first in-person meeting of the International Cell Senescence Association’s Ibero-American Chapter. It’s a rare opportunity to connect face-to-face with colleagues from across Latin America, Spain, and Portugal, spark new collaborations, and strengthen a regional network at the forefront of senescence research.

We’ll gather in the heart of Mexico City, at the Palacio de la Escuela de Medicina — a striking 18th-century Baroque landmark in the Historic Center — surrounded by the city’s world-class museums, architecture, and street food scene. Join us for a symposium where rigorous science meets the energy and warmth of Mexican culture.

Curso Satélite

This satellite course offers a comprehensive introduction to the cellular, molecular, and pathophysiological foundations of cellular senescence and aging. Throughout the course, we will review the main mechanisms associated with cellular senescence, beginning with physiological functioning and then moving on to the changes that occur during aging.

Innovations & Entrepreneurship Gathering

Wednesday, March 17 · 15:00–17:00 (2h) · Palacio de la Escuela de Medicina

Venture Café creates an opportunity for founders and companies in the longevity space to showcase their field applications in both basic and applied science. It will consist of a series of talks and discussion panels focused not only on how they are solving current challenges in aging across various verticals, but also on their personal bench-to-biotech experiences that helped them succeed and grow.

Please join us and create a meaningful connection. Who knows — maybe the next big-hitter company helping solve the pernicious effects of cellular senescence will be walking among us.
