Caroline Park

Dr. Caroline Park received her MD and PhD degrees at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine (where she trained with Dr. Ana Maria Cuervo and Dr. Nir Barzilai) and completed her internal medicine residency at Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in NYC, followed by clinical geriatrics fellowship training at Stanford School of Medicine. Currently, she is a second-year Advanced Geriatric Medicine Fellow at the VA Palo Alto GRECC (Geriatric Research Education and Clinical Center), and is mentored by Dr. Anne Chang, Dr. Deborah Kado, and Dr. Michael Snyder, working on a translational research project funded by Stanford TRAM (Translational Research and Applied Medicine) pilot grant on multi-omics analysis of autophagy in aging skin. During her clinical geriatrics fellowship at Stanford, she was mentored by Dr. Matthew Mesias (Geriatric Medicine) and Dr. Kristan Staudenmayer (Surgery), where she got more involved in the work she will be presenting today. As a geriatrician-scientist, she cares deeply about both understanding aging biology as well as taking care of older adults in the clinic in efforts to deliver the best clinical/translational care to the older adult population.
