Department of Medicine Office of Research

The Department of Medicine places a strong emphasis on its broad and innovative research programs.

Basic scientists, clinical researchers, and clinicians in the Department of Medicine work side-by-side to address fundamental problems in human disease. Their collaborative efforts enable them to take mechanistic discoveries to preclinical testing and first-in-man clinical trials. Cross-cutting programs include regenerative medicine, vaccine testing and development, immunology and inflammation, outcomes and health services research, and the molecular basis of disease.

Featured Story Preparing for the Next Pandemic

When the COVID-19 pandemic struck the United States in early 2020, the early hope that the new coronavirus would be no more transmissible than seasonal influenza was quickly dashed as infections spread like wildfire and death rates soared.
