Peter Abadir, MD

Associate Professor of Medicine
Johns Hopkins University
Baltimore, Maryland, United States

Dr. Peter Abadir is a physician-scientist and an associate professor of medicine at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine with a secondary appointment in the Electrical and Computer engineering department at the Johns Hopkins Whiting School of Engineering. He is the Salisbury Family Center for Innovative Medicine Human Aging Project Scholar. His clinical expertise is geriatrics medicine, with special emphasis on the intersection between physical and cognitive decline with aging using his bedside care of older adults to inform his laboratory work and translate findings into novel disease therapies.

Dr. Abadir finished his clinical residency training and chief residency at the University of Kentucky and completed a clinical-research fellowship in Geriatric Medicine and Gerontology at Johns Hopkins (2007-2009).
Dr. Abadir is the molecular core director of an NIA-funded P30 award focused on frailty, and a U2/U3 award focused on physical resiliency in aging. Dr. Abadir is co-director of an NIA-funded T-32 focused on postdoctoral fellowship training in aging-translational research. Dr. Abadir is also currently leading (co-PI) a new NIA-funded (P30) Artificial Intelligence and Technology Collaboratory center, an alliance between the Johns Hopkins clinical research Aging enterprise and the Whiting School of Engineering that was established for the development and implementation of effective artificial intelligence approaches and technologies to promote the maintenance of the independence of older individuals, including persons with dementia and their caregivers. Dr. Abadir is the director of the Johns Hopkins GeroTech Incubator Program, a multidisciplinary effort within the Human Aging Project that brings together teams of Hopkins healthcare providers, engineers, and business professionals to develop and implement novel scalable engineered solutions for health problems affecting older adults.
