Geriatric Medicine Research (GMR)
is a multi-faceted group with  a focus
on the issues of aging, frailty, and cognition.

For over a decade, we have implemented a patient-centred research model that is now accepted as the clinical model of the future for studying aging.

We know that  aging is a complex issue; tackling it must be done with along term, multi-dimensional approach that includes clinical trials, research projects, and provincial, national and international collaborations and exchanges.

We invite you to explore this website and learn more about the work we do here. You can also check out our blog at https://blogs.dal.ca/geriatricmedicine/ for the latest news from the world of research on and about aging.
