Stein Institute for Research on Aging

Established in 1983, it researches healthy aging through the development and application of the latest advances in biomedical and behavioral sciences.

[1] The more than 150 scientists at the Stein Institute are investigating predictors and associations of successful cognitive and emotional aging.

Dilip V. Jeste, taking over as director in 2004 set the Institute's main focus on successful aging.

[2][3] Alison A. Moore, MD, MPH, FACP, AGSF, became Director in 2024 with research efforts in geroscience, or the study of factors that drive aging and differences in trajectories of health.

Over the past 25 years, the Stein Institute has brought together many scientists,[4] encouraged and funded research published in top scientific journals (such as JAMA),[5][6][7] supported the education of students, including medical students participating in the National Institute on Aging funded MSTAR program [1][8] and presented and broadcast about 300 public lectures on aging as part of its community outreach.
