Lauren Gaydosh: Biological and Cognitive Aging Among Sexual and Gender Minority Older Adults

Lauren Gaydosh will present as part of the Carolina Population Center’s 2024-2025 Interdisciplinary Research Seminar Series.

Dr. Gaydosh’s primary research focuses on better understanding the role of early life environments in shaping health across the life course. This work integrates social, contextual, and biological data from population-based longitudinal studies to examine how inequalities in the social environment get under the skin to create health disparities. Her research has been funded by the National Institutes of Health, the National Science Foundation, and the US Fulbright Program. Dr. Gaydosh received her PhD in Sociology, Demography, and Social Policy from Princeton University in 2015.
