Aging, Metabolism, and Emotions (AME) Center
OUR MISSION
The AME Center conducts research on how people can thrive in both mind and body, especially when under severe adversity such as poverty, caregiving, work stress, and depression.
The Aging, Metabolism, and Emotions (AME) Center is at the UCSF Center for Health and Community. We conduct basic translational and intervention research with the goal of improving healthspan, from conception to our golden years. We are particularly interested in resilience to aging, enhancing coping and emotion regulation, and daily lifestyle (optimizing restorative behaviors of sleep, activity, social connectivity, purpose in life). Our website shares projects, publications, events, and highlights new findings and opportunities.
