Many multi-disciplinary research centers enable collaborative opportunities for our investigators.

Our core facilities provide access to technologies, equipment, and support services to help researchers manage and interpret data, as well as a network of resources at partnering institutions.

Our centers operate some of the most respected programs in the world for translational, clinical, and scientific research, with specialty areas in medicine's fastest-growing fields.

Research skills are vital for academic medicine careers and can facilitate adept decision making in clinical practice. A variety of research training opportunities are available at Emory for medical and PhD students, postdocs, and junior faculty. We believe these skills can begin early in medical education and provide resources up to the faculty level. Our programs train professionals in the art of discovery, preparing you for a career that increases medical knowledge and, ultimately, improves lives.
