Director of the Johns Hopkins Center on Aging and Health

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. 

We appreciate you taking the time to explore our website and learn more about our programs.  Please feel free to contact us if you would like additional information.  You can read our biennial report hereClick here for the full welcome message.
