Our vision is to reduce delirium and its complications for patients worldwide. This mission is realized through rigorous research studies and is supported by a dedicated staff along with interdisciplinary collaborators and trainees in a supportive environment utilizing high-quality, innovative methods and technology. Our research and clinical activities include investigation of risk factors, pathophysiology, intervention strategies, and clinical trials and focus on: - Cognitive aging and optimizing cognitive health - Delirium and prevention of reversible causes of cognitive decline and dementia - Models of care to prevent delirium and cognitive decline The Aging Brain Center’s work also examines broader societal implications of delirium and cognitive decline, including costs, policy, and caregiver issues for conditions associated with cognitive impairment in older adults. The Center is distinguished by our faculty’s commitment to mentor the next generation of researchers in the field, and disseminate our findings to clinicians, policy makers, and the community.
