Neuroscience of Aging, Neurodegeneration and Alzheimer's Disease
Description: PROJECT NARRATIVE By 2030, approximately 20% of the US population is expected to be 65 years and older, and so there is an urgent need for better understanding of the physiological changes and mechanisms that underlie normal and pathological aging. This research training grant will provide annual support for 5 pre-doctoral students and 3 postdoctoral fellows, and will represent an educational cornerstone of the OHSU Healthy Aging Alliance – an organization that involves basic and clinical researchers, health care providers, and also elderly representatives from the local community. The proposed Neuroscience of Aging, Neurodegeneration and Alzheimer's Disease program will thus provide trainees with a “bench-to-bedside” framework in which to conduct their research, and will better prepare them for future research careers that focus on the development of safe and effective therapies for aging-related neurological disorders.
