The department’s research enterprise is among the largest of its peers in the U.S. It encompasses the full spectrum of translational and public health science and draws from the school’s critical mass of leading faculty and facilities.
The department’s breakthroughs come from faculty members who work full-time in basic science research and from operating surgeons who devote considerable time to basic science or clinical investigations. The department ranks among the top U.S. academic surgery departments in annual NIH, non-federal and corporate-supported grants.
