Longevity Revolution 2026 Concludes in New Delhi
The 11th IASRM World Congress in New Delhi explored regenerative medicine and healthy ageing with 91 global faculty members.
The 11th World Congress of the International Association of Stem Cell & Regenerative Medicine (IASRM), titled Longevity Revolution 2026, has officially concluded in New Delhi. The three-day event, held at The Lalit, served as a premier platform for scientific exchange, focusing on the future of healthy ageing and the evolving landscape of regenerative therapies.
A Global Gathering for Healthy Ageing
From September 25 to 27, 2026, the congress brought together an impressive assembly of 91 faculty members from India and across the globe. These experts participated both in person and through live online sessions, engaging with an estimated 150–200 delegates to discuss the intersection of scientific research, clinical practice, and public expectations.
The comprehensive programme included:
- 20 scientific sessions covering longevity medicine and cellular therapeutics.
- Three hands-on workshops focusing on practical medical applications.
- 12 Continuing Medical Education (CME) credit hours accredited by the Delhi Medical Council.
Focus on Regenerative and Functional Medicine
The discussions delved into critical areas such as regenerative medicine—which investigates ways to repair or restore damaged tissues—and functional medicine, which examines factors contributing to chronic illness. As the field expands, a major theme of the congress was the necessity of distinguishing established scientific evidence from preliminary or unproven claims.
“Regeneration no longer has to justify its existence. It has to justify its claims,” stated Prabhu Chandra Mishra, Founder of IASRM and Organising Chair of Longevity Revolution 2026. Mishra emphasized that for India’s ageing population, the focus must shift toward not just how long people live, but the quality of health and independence they maintain throughout their lives.
Highlights and Hands-on Learning
The event kicked off with specialized, seat-capped practical workshops. These sessions provided intensive training in:
- PRP and exosomes.
- PDO threads and energy-based devices.
- Nutritional IV therapies.
A major highlight included a morning keynote by Professor Patrick Treacy, who presented on “Pathways of Ageing and Human Longevity.” Additionally, a plenary session moderated by Dr. Narendra Malhotra served as a central pillar of the scientific agenda.
Celebrating Excellence in Medicine
Beyond the scientific lectures, the congress hosted the IASRM Excellence Awards and a Fellowship Convocation. These ceremonies recognized significant contributions to the field and celebrated participants who successfully completed their IASRM fellowship training.
The high level of engagement was evident during the final sessions. “What stayed with me is not the numbers. It is that the hall was still full for the last talk on the last day. People stayed, and they listened to each other. That is rare,” noted Mishra.
Looking Ahead: The Healthspan Standard Summit
Following the success of this congress, IASRM has invited faculty members to transform their presentations into formal research papers. Furthermore, the association has announced the upcoming Healthspan Standard Summit, which aims to establish rigorous standards in longevity, regenerative, and functional medicine.
