Kevin Glenn, M.D.
Assistant Professor

Dr. Glenn's research interests include the molecular biology of aging, specifically studying the accumulation of misfolded proteins in normal aging and determining whether this is a marker or a cause of aging.  His clinical interest lies in the area of hospitalist medicine.
