Designed to celebrate groundbreaking research and medical innovation, 
the Breakthrough Breakfast Series will showcase a different area of 
medical discovery, featuring esteemed researchers at the forefront of 
their fields.

From Cardiac research to Cancer, Immunity and Vaccinology, 
Neurosciences & Brain Diseases (including mental health and 
Alzheimer's disease), to Healthy Aging and Frailty, the series spans a 
diverse spectrum of crucial medical topics. Each event will include 
researchers, graduate students, patients, or community members who 
have contributed to or benefited from this research.

This event will focus on Healthy Aging and Frailty. It will take place 
on September 24 from 7:30-9:00 am at the Canadian Museum of 
Immigration at Pier 21.

Speakers will include Drs. Kenneth Rockwood, Susan Howlett, and Pamela 
Jarrett.

This region contains the highest percentage of people aged 65 and 
older in Canada. The quality of life for seniors is significantly 
impacted by chronic illnesses including dementia and there is a strong 
link between these illnesses and frailty.

At Dalhousie University, our world-leading researchers are tackling 
the challenges brought on by aging with a goal of improving the 
quality of life by preventing illness, improving treatments, and 
suggesting policy solutions that will help us all age better and 
contribute longer.
