Institute for Geroscience Research

The Institute for Geroscience (EIG) at Albert Einstein College of Medicine is driving discovery in a range of areas—from the underlying mechanisms of cellular aging to decades-long studies with “superagers,” people who live well into old age in good health.

Human Longevity Studies

Human Longevity Studies

The EIG is home to multiple studies with superagers, their families, and those without a family history of exceptional longevity.

Mechanisms for Cellular Aging

Mechanisms for Cellular Aging

Investigators examine how malfunctioning cellular processes, including autophagy and senescence, contribute to aging.

Functional Genomics Genomic Maintenance in Againg

Functional Genomics & Genomic Maintenance in Aging

Age-related genomic instability arises from DNA damage. We study how to improve repair mechanisms.

Integrative Physiology of Aging

Integrative Physiology of Aging

Through the lens of metabolism and immunology, we examine how interorgan crosstalk shapes systemic aging.

Gerotherapeutic Interventions

Gerotherapeutic Interventions

We focus on developing novel compounds and identifying repurposed drugs to promote resilience and healthspan.
