Vince MarconiProfessor Medicine, Division of Infectious Diseases“Holistic Approaches to Aging”
The Emeritus College welcomes Dr. Vincent Marconi who will speak about his work exploring holistic approaches to aging humans through multiple perspectives.
As reported last year by Emory News, Dr. Marconi “was always suspicious of the idea that healthy aging could be achieved through traditional doctoring alone. Over time he came to increasingly believe in maintaining a strong connection between mind, body, and spirit. A holistic approach to aging that considers aging humans through multiple perspectives at once, including the biomedical, behavioral and the social and physical environment.”
His work is breaking boundaries and transforming how we understand and treat various common age-related diseases, including diabetes, cancer, heart disease and dementia. Indeed, Dr. Marconi stands at the forefront of emerging science whose application of multiple perspectives is altering our abilities to age more successfully. “We can either treat diseases individually or use holistic approaches that target the key pathways which address the whole person and can prevent new conditions from occurring.”
