Welcome from Jennifer A. Schrack, PhD

Worldwide, there will soon be more adults aged 65 and older than children aged five and younger. The Center on Aging and Health consists of more than 40 faculty members from Johns Hopkins University’s schools of Medicine, Public Health, and Nursing who lead and collaborate on innovative research programs to promote health, longevity, and well-being with aging.  To support the development of the next generation of researchers, we have structured predoctoral and postdoctoral training programs focused on the epidemiology, biostatistics, and mental health of aging.
