Comprising scientists from the University of California San Francisco and the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, we are a transdisciplinary research team of clinician scientists, health services researchers, economists, epidemiologists, and biostatisticians with expertise in the novel and complex programming, analytic tools, and statistical methods that are required to effectively use the Health and Retirement Study (HRS) and the National Health and Aging Trends Study (NHATS) datasets to examine the complex issues that arise across the disease course from dementia diagnosis to death and provide answers to relevant clinical and policy questions in dementia care.
