Bringing the best minds in brain aging together.
April 25th, 2026
As Boston’s premier brain aging conference, NOVA brings together leaders in biotechnology, academia, investment, policy, patient advocacy, and clinical care to confront one of the most urgent challenges in neuroscience.
The field of brain aging is at a true inflection point marked by breakthroughs in disease-modifying therapies, emerging brain shuttle technologies, and unprecedented insight into prevention and treatment. Through NOVA, we harness this momentum by bridging foundational science with translational impact. Our goal is to catalyze bold ideas, foster meaningful connections, and empower the next generation of leaders to drive tangible impact in aging and neurodegeneration.
Panel Speakers for NOVA
Program
9am-5pm. Hear from the pioneers in the field.
Brain Aging in the Clinic
Focus on how advances in clinical neuroscience are reshaping the diagnosis and treatment of age-related neurological conditions.
Biology of Brain Aging: Novel Tools
Explore how emerging experimental and analytical tools are transforming our understanding of brain aging.
Neurotech and BCIs
Major breakthroughs in neurotechnology and brain-computer interfaces have begun restoring function to patients with severe neurological impairments.
Investment Landscape for Neuro
Examine current trends in venture capital, biotech formation, and strategic investment in neuroscience and brain aging.
Repair and Regeneration
Panelists will discuss progress in cell replacement therapies, tissue repair programs, and emerging regenerative modalities that challenge the long-held assumption that neuronal loss is irreversible.
Patient Advocacy
Innovation must ultimately serve patients and caregivers. This panel will bring together leaders from major advocacy organizations to discuss unmet needs in care and the lived experience of disease.
