Aging research Consuelo H. Wilkins, M.D. (right), assistant professor of medicine, performs a test of vibratory sensation on Robert Cole III as part of his annual assessment in the Memory and Aging Project. Wilkins' research on osteoporosis in relation to aging and Alzheimer's disease is supported by a minority investigator research supplement to a larger National Institute on Aging grant on healthy aging and senile dementia. "Dr. Wilkins' work is a critical part of efforts by the School of Medicine and the Alzheimer's Disease Research Center to reach out into the African- American community," said John C. Morris, M.D., the Harvey A. and Dorismae Hacker Friedman Professor of Neurology and principal investigator on the aging and dementia grant.
