This is a two-part lecture series that brings together researchers and clinicians involved in the study of Aging-related topics, with an overarching focus of promoting function in older adults. Lectures will be either:
- Research in Progress- These talks provide an opportunity for Pepper Center Grant awardees and other junior researchers to present their research and ideas, with opportunities for feedback.
- Experts in Aging- Speakers who have made major contributions to the field of aging will discuss their research. These talks include a wide range of topics that tie into the overarching Boston Pepper Center mission of improving health in older adults, but are not limited to physical function and mechanisms of aging.
