Institute for Aging Research

The Institute for Aging Research is the largest gerontological research facility located in an applied setting. For more than 40 years, the combination of Hebrew SeniorLife's residential, medical and aging research resources has provided a valuable opportunity to conduct rigorous clinical investigations into aging diseases and disability. The aging research discoveries by the Institute's scientists have guided how we care for our residents and informed the development of our independent housing and continuing care communities. And, beyond Hebrew SeniorLife, aging research discoveries have had a profound impact on how we view old age, giving rise to the appreciation that quality of life can be optimized at all stages of an individual's life.

From the Institute's world-renowned musculoskeletal research, to the Aging Brain Center, to social research that measures the success of our systems of care at home and abroad, the Institute's multidisciplinary aging research faculty, promotes scientific investigation that considers the complex relationship between biological, social and psychological factors that influence how well we can all live in old age now, and in the future.

The Institute for Aging Research of Hebrew SeniorLife is a not-for-profit, non-sectarian organization funded through government grants for aging research and individual, foundation and corporate gifts. Support aging research and fund our efforts to cure age-related disease. The Institute for Aging Research is one of the leading medical research charities.
