T32 Translational Research in Aging Program

The Translational Research in Aging Postdoctoral T32 Training Program is sponsored by the National Institute on Aging. The goal of the program is to provide highly qualified MD or PhD fellows with outstanding geriatric basic science, clinical, and healthcare training, under the mentorship of experienced investigators in geriatric medicine and gerontology. Trainees have access to resources and expertise through the Hinda and Arthur Marcus Institute for Aging Research. 

Programs for Trainees

Trainees will have the opportunity to participate in the following programs:  

Advanced Aging Research Training Seminar Series (AARTSS) 

The main objective of AARTSS is to provide practical instruction to trainees conducting aging-related research at the Marcus Institute and affiliated institutions. 

Both faculty and participants represent a wide-range of research areas that include biological, physiological, patient-oriented, and epidemiologic research. Thus, another goal of AARTSS is to provide a venue for cross-fertilization of ideas among investigators conducting aging-related research in various disciplines. 

AARTSS also helps trainees develop skills in communicating across multiple disciplines and use multidisciplinary perspectives and tools to design and conduct translational research.

Geriatric Interdisciplinary Grand Rounds

The Geriatric Interdisciplinary Grand Rounds lectures cover a broad range of timely and clinically important topics. Speakers are drawn from the Marcus Institute, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and other regional and national institutions.
