Research
Start with hope; end with cures.
Curiosity, hard work, vision and collaboration are some of the shared characteristics of our faculty members. In fact, about 80 percent of our researchers are part of the College of Medicine. Their research work spans across several departments.
Yet, they are just as committed to teaching their students and caring for their patients. It is a multi-faceted approach to research discoveries. From our areas of excellence to opportunities to participate in clinical trials, people can have access to the leading-edge technologies designed to enhance their lives.
Because of these efforts, breakthroughs are possible.
