The McMaster Institute for Research on Aging (MIRA) is pleased to announce the prestigious Suzanne Labarge Lecture in Aging, set to 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 invites academics, clinicians, and members of the public to join us in celebrating advancements in aging research.
The inaugural lecture welcomes 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.
All are welcome to join MIRA and Dr. Lord, who will synthesize recent findings on the role of new technologies, mobility assessments, and fall prevention interventions in reducing the risk of falls among older people.
