Healthy Aging Symposium

Fisher Colloquium, Hariri Building

July 14, 2022

10 a.m. – 4 p.m.

Plan to attend the first annual symposium focused on aging. This event is free and open to all members of the Georgetown community and our community collaborators and partners.

Presenters will be addressing critical issues in aging research, policy and care from cells to society and include transdisciplinary researchers from several Georgetown Schools, cross-campus programs, community groups, MedStar Health and the NIH.

Our goal is to have attendees get to know others interested in aging, describe resources, and stimulate people coming together to form new teams to address challenges of an aging society.

The symposium will include:

• Panel discussions

• Research talks

• Posters

• Networking time

• Lunch

Learn more about the symposium at the Center for Healthy Aging website. 

Sponsored by the GUMC Center for Healthy Aging, the Aging and Alzheimer’s Research Training Program, the Georgetown Aging and Health Program, and the Georgetown Lombardi Institute for Cancer and Aging Research.
