Hosted by the GPH Department of Biostatistics
The Pathways into Quantitative Aging Research (PQAR) summer program is a National Institute of Aging (NIA) funded summer program hosted by the Department of Biostatistics at the NYU School of Global Public Health. The program invites 12 undergraduate students from underrepresented groups to visit NYC/NYU for six weeks during the summer. During this time, students are taught quantitative public health methods, engaged through faculty lectures and conduct supervised research with NYU faculty.
On Thursday, July 18, we invite members of the GPH community to attend our Fourth Annual PQAR Symposium, where students will present the research they have conducted this summer. This is an exciting event where students will be presenting on aging related topics such as hypertension and depressive symptoms, diabetes' impact on high infectious diseases, social factors on inflammation and early Alzheimer's detection through multi view brain imaging. Dr. Lisa L. Barnes, the Alla V. and Solomon Jesmer Professor of Gerontology and Geriatric Medicine, Associate Director & Cognitive Neuropsychologist (Rush Alzheimer’s Disease Center, Rush University Medical Center) will deliver the keynote speech on the topic of "Cognitive Neuroscience to Epidemiology of Aging – Transforming Aging Research One Brain at a Time"
