个人简介

Dr. Jeremy Walston is a professor of medicine at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. His area of clinical expertise is geriatric medicine. As part of his research focused on aging and frailty, Dr. Walston helped develop the most commonly utilized definition of frailty and used this phenotype to identify inflammatory, endocrinological and renin angiotensin system-related pathways that influence frailty and late-life decline. At the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, Dr. Walston is co-director of the Biology of Healthy Aging Program in the Division of Geriatric Medicine and Gerontology as well as deputy director of the division. He is the Raymond and Anna Lublin Professor of Geriatric Medicine. He received his M.D. from the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine. He completed residencies in oncology and general internal medicine at Johns Hopkins. He performed his fellowship in geriatric medicine and gerontology at Johns Hopkins. Dr. Walston plays a leading role in setting the national aging research agenda through his leadership and participation in committees of the American Geriatrics Society and on study sections and review panels for the National Institute on Aging. He has won numerous awards for his research, including the American Geriatrics Society New Investigator Award, a Brookdale National Leadership Fellowship and Paul Beeson Physician Faculty Scholars recognition.

Dr. Walston’s research focuses on the biology that influences chronic inflammation, frailty and vulnerability to adverse outcomes observed in older adults. Working closely with a multidisciplinary group of investigators at Johns Hopkins and across the country, Dr. Walston has led developmental efforts for important conceptual frameworks surrounding frailty and risk for adverse outcomes. The results of these studies hold great promise for decreasing chronic disease burden and improving quality of life for older adults. Dr. Walston is the primary investigator for the Older Americans Independence Center (OAIC) Research Cores.
