Marcas Bamman is a Senior Research Scientist and Director of Healthspan, Resilience, and Performance Research at IHMC.

"The research here is spanning from the elite most performer to individuals with multimorbidity, chronic disease, older individuals," Bamman said. "When we think of the term health span, what does that really mean? It means trying to extend the period of life during which people are largely free of disease and performing at a high level in whatever they choose to do. So it's really about health status, pushing that line as far as you can to the right, maintaining a high level of performance and overall health resilience."
