Our Research Plan
Our plan encompasses investigations into the basic principles of molecular, cellular, and organ-level biology and their relationship to disease. Key areas of fundamental interest include:
- Molecular and cellular medicine
- Diagnostics and prognostics
- Drug and medical device discovery
- Genomics and genetics
- Rare diseases
- Diabetes
- Heart malformations
- Autism and other neurodevelopmental disorders
- Stem cell and regenerative medicine
All these areas of research need training in basic, translational, and clinical research, as well as world-class facilities for the next generation of scientific and clinical leaders.
Robust scientific and clinical research that leads to a better understanding of biology and clinical pathology is an important part of our mission. This is achieved by building a strong basic science foundation, represented by more than 20 laboratories, coupled with innovative technology development and outstanding clinical and translational research that covers the wide spectrum of investigation.
