2023 NIA RCMAR Workshop at GSA

This workshop on November 8 at the Gerontological Society of America’s conference in Tampa, FL, will focus on the importance of bridging biomarkers with social and behavioral factors to health outcomes. NIA-funded researchers will explain the state of the art in the collection and use of biomarker data in research, bring minority aging research leaders to describe research questions where biomarkers have provided new insights, and discuss the priority questions for future research in minority aging health where biomarker data may provide new insights. Registration is open to RCMAR Faculty and Scientists (current and alumni). See the agenda below.
