Brian Buta
At the Center on Aging and Health in the Division of Geriatric Medicine and Gerontology at Johns Hopkins University, I serve as project administrator for aging-related research and training programs. I received my Masters of Health Science from the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health.
My research interests include the etiology and assessment of frailty, interventions and translational studies among older adults, and health promotion and dissemination.
