The Aging Brain Center is dedicated to advancing medical knowledge about delirium, and its interface with dementias such as Alzheimer’s disease through research and education. Our vision is to reduce delirium and its complications for patients worldwide.
Biostatistics involves the capture and interpretation of quantitative data in the biomedical sciences. It is integral to the advancement of knowledge in biology, health policy, clinical medicine, public health, health economics, proteomics, genomics, and other disciplines.
Musculoskeletal Research Center conducts research on common musculoskeletal conditions of aging such as osteoporosis, osteoarthritis, hyperkyphosis (excessive forward curvature), sarcopenia (loss of muscle mass) and foot disorders, as well as biomechanics of the skeletal system.
Palliative care is focused on relieving the pain and discomfort of patients with chronic and life-limiting illnesses. Our goal is to conduct high-quality clinical and health services palliative care research that will improve the quality of care provided to older patients and their families.
Our interdisciplinary team explores cardiovascular, neurological, musculoskeletal, environmental and drug-related causes of falls and mobility disorders. This research has lead to the development of novel interventions that help older individuals overcome these conditions.
