The mechanisms underlying normal
and pathological human brain aging are still poorly understood, and safe and effective therapies have
yet to be developed. Therefore, the primary aim of our T32 program is to provide students with basic,
translational, and clinical research training in the Neuroscience of Aging, Neurodegeneration and
Alzheimer’s Disease. Our program provides trainees with a “bench-to-bedside” framework in which to conduct research and better prepare them for future research and clinical careers that focus on the development of safe and effective therapies for aging- related neurological disorders.
