The McKnight Brain Institutes
Specialized Research on Cognitive Aging
Center for Cognitive Aging and Memory
Clinical Translational Research (CAM Center)
Co-directed by Ron Cohen, Ph.D. ABPP, and Jennifer
Bizon, Ph.D., with Sara Burke, Ph.D., and Adam Woods,
Ph.D., serving as associate directors, the CAM Center is a
multidisciplinary research center focused on brain aging
and cognition with researchers specializing in physiology,
neurobiology of aging, neuroplasticity, pharmacology,
computational, cellular and behavioral neuroscience
and clinical interests. Research approaches underway
at the CAM Center include analysis of single cells and
molecules; interrogation of neural circuits; and design
and testing of interventions to improve cognitive health.
With strengths in both preclinical discoverybased research and clinical science, CAM Center
researchers are dedicated to translating leading edge
brain aging discoveries into interventions that will
preserve cognitive function and improve the quality
of lives for older adults. The CAM Center is a fertile
training ground for those interested in preclinical or
translational research careers focused on preventing
or reversing age-related cognitive decline.
