Principal Investigator: Marilyn S. Albert, PhD\ This training program is funded by the National Institute on Aging (T32AG027668).\ We offer pre and postdoctoral training opportunities.
Overview
Would you like to find your focus as an innovative research leader in age-related cognitive disorders?
This training program enables pre and postdoctoral scientists to conduct independent research in the vast field of cognitive disorders related to the aging nervous system, including: age-related cognitive change and age-related cognitive disorders (e.g., Alzheimer’s disease (AD), Frontotemporal dementia (FTD); and vascular cognitive decline).
To this purpose, we have designed a core didactic program complemented by four specialized pathways:
- Clinical Studies of Aging and Age-Related Cognitive Disorders
- Population Studies of Aging and Age-Related Cognitive Disorders
- Imaging Studies of Aging and Age-Related Cognitive Disorders
- Animal Models of Aging and Neurodegeneration
Each primary department associated with the program has information about the training program on their website, which you can reach by clicking on the links below:
- Neurology, School of Medicine
- Psychiatry, School of Medicine
- Mental Health, School of Public Health, Schools of Arts and Sciences
- Psychological & Brain Sciences, School of Arts and Science
Moreover, this excellent, interdisciplinary training opportunity prepares young investigators in age-related cognitive disorders for critical thought, innovative insights, and original discoveries. Under the expert guidance of a faculty mentor, trainees will conduct meaningful original research.
