The NIA's research programs include scientific disciplines like biochemistry, cell and molecular biology, genetics, immunology, neuroscience, behavioral sciences and epidemiology, as well as medical disciplines including neurobiology, endocrinology, cardiology, hematology, oncology, and gerontology. The central focus of our research is understanding the changes associated with healthy aging and to define the criteria for evaluating when a change becomes pathological. Thus, not only are the common age-related diseases under study (e.g., Alzheimer's Disease, stroke, atherosclerosis, diabetes, and cancer), but the determinants of healthy aging are being defined.
