Steady, save and savvy: New technologies for fall prevention as we age

The McMaster Institute for Research on Aging (MIRA) invites you to the inaugural Suzanne Labarge Lecture in Aging, the first in a series of lectures celebrating advancements in aging research. This event will take place on April 14, 2025, at 12:30 p.m., in the Atrium at McMaster Innovation Park. Named for chancellor emerita and McMaster alumna Dr. (Hon.) Suzanne Labarge, this lecture series brings together academics, clinicians, and members of the public.
We are honored to welcome Dr. Stephen Lord, a Senior Principal Research Fellow at Neuroscience Research Australia and Scientia Professor at the University of New South Wales. As the Director of the Fall, Balance and Injury Research Centre, Dr. Lord is world-renowned for his research on balance, gait, and falls in older adults. His work has greatly influenced fall prevention strategies and has been adopted globally by researchers and clinicians.
Join MIRA and Dr. Lord as he synthesizes recent findings on the role of new technologies, mobility assessments, and fall prevention interventions in reducing the risk of falls among older people. All are welcome!
