For more than 50 years, the Hinda and Arthur Marcus Institute for Aging Research has been challenging conventional wisdom to better understand how we age. The questions we ask – and the answers we uncover – directly impact standards of care and help seniors live more vital, meaningful lives.

The Marcus Institute is one of the largest gerontological research facilities in a clinical setting in the U.S. Our decades-long relationship with Harvard Medical School has attracted expert teaching staff and top-notch research fellows. Our research portfolio ranks us in the top 15% of institutions funded by the National Institutes of Health, and ranks number one among hospital-based geriatric research facilities.
