About Us

We're reinventing aging.

By combining cutting-edge research, education, and community outreach, the University of Miami's Center on Aging is finding ways to prevent disability, increase independence, and help older people lead active and rewarding lives.

The center uses a multidisciplinary approach to the study of aging. Faculty conduct research in such diverse areas as Alzheimer's, AIDS, cancer, genetics, immunology, falls, stress, and technology to enhance lives. It also offers many programs for the elderly and their caregivers.

As part of its multidisciplinary approach to the study of aging, the center collaborates with a number of departments and centers across the University of Miami.  For a complete list, click here.

The center also teams up with many outside academic institutions, institutes, and organizations.  To view a list of these academic partners, click here.
