Mission

Our mission is to determine how healthy brains lead to active lives. Our research examines how health and health behaviors sustain our thinking and memory through positive effects on our brain as we age, and how these thinking and memory abilities impact how we change health behaviors to support healthy aging. We hope our research informs how we can keep our mind and brain in shape to stay active with our families and our communities throughout life.
