At the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, there is a strong presence of researchers with expertise in the field of aging. The Center for Aging and Translational Research (CATR) focuses on bringing these aging researchers together, along with collaborating with our strong community and partners. We are uniquely positioned to address the needs of older adults in Milwaukee and beyond with our research and translation of that research into practice.
