Research

Our faculty have achieved national prominence for research on a wide variety of important clinical problems such as heart disease, HIV, substance use disorders, Alzheimer’s disease, respiratory disease, cancer, diabetes, palliative care, veteran multimorbidity, global health, social drivers of health, and, more broadly, health services research and population health. Much of our research activities are housed in collaborative centers that focus interdisciplinary efforts toward a common goal: making health accessible for everyone, such as by positively impacting healthcare structures and policy.
