Karen Bandeen-Roche, PhD (she/her/hers)

Professor of Biostatistics
Johns Hopkins University
Baltimore, Maryland, United States

Dr. Bandeen-Roche, a gerontologist and statistician, is Professor and Chair Emeritus of the Department of Biostatistics at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. Her gerontologic research, spanning more than 30 years, aims to better understand the causes and course, together with racial and ethnic disparities, of physical disability, cognitive decline, and frailty in older adults, so that their adverse implications can be delayed or avoided. Her statistical specialty areas are in latent variable and multivariate outcome modeling—expertise she applies to improve measurement, and characterize the validity, of geriatric outcomes. She has disseminated her work in both areas through nearly 300 publications. Dr. Bandeen-Roche has worked to establish aging-focused programs at her institution: These include the Johns Hopkins Training Program on the Epidemiology and Biostatistics of Aging and the Johns Hopkins Older Americans Independence Center, which she co-directs. She has led the statistical design and implementation for multiple studies and programs on aging, including the Johns Hopkins Alzheimer’s Disease Center, Women’s Health and Aging Studies, Salisbury Eye Evaluation studies on vision in older adults, and the Baltimore Memory Study. Most recently she is pursuing research to characterize and ascertain resiliency in older adults as a multiple PI for the NIA-funded Study to Promote Resilience in agING (SPRING). She has been privileged to hold national leadership positions in science on aging and have recognition as a GSA Fellow. Through her efforts, she seeks to further research at the interface of basic, quantitative, population and clinical science to better the lives of older adults.
