Georgetown Lombardi Institute for Cancer and Aging (GLICA)

The mission of GLICA is to conduct transdisciplinary research to address challenges in our diverse aging society and train a new generation of researchers focused on achieving health equity for cancer patients and their families.

Thinking and Living with Cancer (TLC) Study

The goal of the TLC Study is to evaluate the impact of systemic therapy on the mind (“cognition”) in older breast cancer patients. We enroll women over 60 who have recently been diagnosed with breast cancer, as well as healthy controls. This study is being done nationally, with recruiting sites at Georgetown University, Memorial Sloan-Kettering, Moffitt Cancer Center, and Indiana University.

The AGS Study

Georgetown Center for Healthy Aging

The Georgetown Center for Healthy Aging is committed to promoting healthy aging, preventing and treating illness and disability, and achieving equity in health and well-being across the life course. Through symposia, grants, and programs, the Center nurtures new research on aging-related topics across various fields such as the basic, clinical, population, and social sciences; public policy; and healthcare systems. The Center contributes expertise to existing educational programs and new initiatives, both across the University and with community-based organizations. The general goal is to expand the diversity and numbers of transdisciplinary researchers collaborating with stakeholders and communities, improving healthcare, and enhancing the quality of life during aging.
