Department of Surgery :: Research Programs

Welcome

The Department of Surgery has long invested in its basic and translational researchers. They are working on a rich variety of projects addressing the basic mechanisms as well as therapeutic breakthroughs in their fields. With current research expenditures totaling $6 million in FY2004, the department has ranked +/- 20th in NIH rankings in recent years.

Our basic scientists devote full time to research and teaching. Our translational scientists combine commitments to active research programs that link to their clinical practice. The Research Programs are divided into following groups:

• Cancer and Metastasis
• Cardiothoracic and Vascular
• Epithelial Pathobiology
• Immunology and Inflammation
• Tissue Biology, Bioengineering and Imaging
