Social genomics researchers from across the world convene at the University of Wisconsin–Madison each year to discuss advances in the field.
This conference showcases scholarship that considers biodemographic factors across the life course that shape health and aging processes. This year will focus on biological aging, but we welcome all work in social genomics, broadly construed.
Support is provided by the National Institute of Aging, La Follette School for Public Affairs, and Initiative in Social Genomics.
