Research Overview
Research is a major area of focus for our faculty, as demonstrated by the fact that almost two-thirds participate in clinical and/or basic investigation.
The department has experienced a dramatic increase in the level of national competitive research funding over the past 25 years; this upward trajectory has not abated and our faculty continue to be successful in attracting national grants.
The department's research strengths include its ability to attract high-caliber investigators who are pioneering discoveries at our institution and sharing their knowledge with the community.
Among our many outstanding faculty, we have 15 who currently occupy endowed chairs.
Several members of our faculty have also received the title of University Scholar or Distinguished University Scholar which recognizes their achievement of national recognition and their ability to attract substantial externally funded research support and to regularly disseminate their work through scholarly publications.
