It's only a matter of time
until a healthy lifespan is extended by diminishing the onset and rate of age-related disease
until scientists advance discoveries into the fundamental cellular and biological basis underlying the aging processes
until causes, treatments, and societal implications of physical and neurological age-related diseases are tackled
until it is revealed how aging and longevity are controlled by genes and evolutionary processes
until an understanding of the links between brain and behavioral aging enhance late-life wellbeing
until diversity in the aging process and the effects of aging and longevity on populations worldwide is illuminated

Overview

The Center for Aging and Longevity Studies (CALS) brings together researchers, scholars, and educators from multiple disciplines in an effort to improve the human experience by augmenting healthspan, ameliorating age-related diseases, advancing the vitality of an aging population, and investigating the societal impact of extended longevity. CALS-affiliated faculty come from 15 different academic departments, institutes, and programs, spanning the Division of Mathematical, Life, and Physical Sciences, the Division of Social Sciences, and the Division of Humanity and Fine Arts in the College of Letters and Science, and the College of Engineering. CALS seeks to enhance basic knowledge about aging and longevity, to create educational experiences for students, and to foster relations with the public to empower an aging society.
