The Healthy Aging Research Seminar Series features faculty and trainees from UBC, other institutions in Canada, and abroad. Speakers present on various topics related to research on healthy aging, with the goal of disseminating knowledge and fostering new collaborations. Our research seminars typically occur on the third Wednesday of every month, and can be viewed in-person or virtually. These seminars are intended for a research audience but all are welcome to attend. Scroll through our events calendar to find upcoming research seminars.
