ELANA M. GLOGER, PhD

I am a Postdoctoral Scholar at the Center for Healthy Aging in the Department of Human Development and Family Studies at Pennsylvania State University. My program of research integrates longitudinal, mechanistic models of psychosocial, biological, and immunological processes to better understand the rate and magnitude of accelerated aging in midlife populations when risk factors for poor aging may still be modifiable. I’m especially interested in how psychological stress during midlife contributes to accelerated aging and the conditional health factors that buffer or exacerbate this effect. I also have an interest in biological measurement and statistics. When I’m not doing research, I’m crocheting, playing Stardew Valley and Elden Ring, reading (a lot), & cuddling my cats.

I invite you to take a look at my publications or my CV for a a better idea of my current projects and interests. Feel free to get in touch with me to discuss potential collaborations or employment opportunities: elana.gloger@psu.edu
