Dr. Buford obtained his doctoral degree in Exercise, Nutrition, and Preventative Health from Baylor University. His research efforts utilize clinical and pre-clinical models focused on preserving the health and independence of older adults, including leading multiple recent clinical trials related to exercise and mobility. He current has received extensive NIH funding as both Principal Investigator and Co-Investigator, largely through the National Institute on Aging, and he has served on numerous grant peer-review committees including serving as a standing member of the NIH's Aging Systems and Geriatrics panel. Among his prior research projects, he served as a co-investigator on the Phase 3 Lifestyle Interventions and Independence for Elders study and also serves as a clinical center Site PI for the NIH's Molecular Transducers of Physical Activity in Humans consortium funded by the NIH Common Fund as well as a Co-Investigator for UAB Clinical Center for the Nutrition for Precision Health initiative, also supported by the Common Fund. He also serves as the Director for the UAB T32 pre- and post-doctoral training program in Pathobiology and Rehabilitation Medicine, supported by the National Center for Medical Rehabilitation Research.
