Geriatric Medicine Research (GMR) operates under the umbrellas of the at Nova Scotia Health, and the Ìýin the Department of Medicine at Â鶹´«Ã½.
Our goal is to improve the care and quality of life for older adults across levels of frailty and those who live with dementia.
Our team is comprised of a core group of experienced clinician scientists and researchers who are recognized nationally and internationally as leaders in research on frailty, aging, and dementia. Their work is supported by a dedicated team of skilled administrators, analysts, associates and assistants. A number of talented postdoctoral fellows, medical students and graduate students also learn from and work with our group.
Our researchers and staff have a broad range of research interests that reflect our interdisciplinary approach to the complexity of aging, and the diverse nature of geriatric medicine, including:
- frailty and deficit accumulation
- dementia and cognitive dynamics
- social vulnerability
- exercise, physical activity and sedentary behaviour
- delirium
- patient-centered outcomes
The GMR team actively collaborates with colleagues and teams at Â鶹´«Ã½ and Nova Scotia Health, as well as research groups throughout Canada and the world.
