Aging Reimagined
Bold, ambitious research — from pilot to major program — is central to MIRA’s goal of improving the lives of older adults.
Overview
Through the Institute and our Research Centres, the Labarge Centre for Mobility in Aging and the MIRA | Dixon Hall Centre, we support McMaster faculty members and their partners to conduct creative research aimed at expanding our understanding of aging and finding solutions to the most pressing issues faced by older adults, caregivers, policymakers and health care professionals.
MIRA leverages relationships with partner organizations to expand the research of available funding and support aging research in critical areas of importance, such as pain, infectious disease and technology.
