Dear ISL Affiliates and Friends,

I’m thrilled to announce our next ISL Distinguished Speaker - Dr. Kenneth M. Langa, Cyrus Sturgis Professor of Medicine at the University of Michigan. Please save the date Thursday, January 29, 2026 for the main events.

About Dr. Langa

Dr. Langa is an internationally recognized leader in aging research, with a career spanning medicine, public policy, and population health. He is Co-Principal Investigator and Co-Director of the Health and Retirement Study (HRS), and Principal Investigator of the Harmonized Cognitive Assessment Protocol (HCAP) Project, both funded by the National Institute on Aging. An elected member of the National Academy of Medicine, AAAS, and ASCI, his work has shaped our understanding of the epidemiology and costs of chronic disease in older adults, particularly Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias. He has published more than 375 peer-reviewed articles and continues to lead major studies examining dementia prevalence, cardiovascular and acute illness impacts on cognition, and cross-national dementia outcomes.
