Research Areas

Researchers in this area are focused on exploring the synergy of clinical trials and precision health to advance personalized medicine and optimize healthcare outcomes. Areas within this category include oncology (e.g. immunotherapy, genetics), neurology (e.g. Alzheimer’s disease, cognitive impairment, dementia), and cardiology (e.g. hypertensive diseases, ischemic heart diseases).

Researchers in this area are focused on developing cutting-edge technologies to address societal challenges with a focus on technologies and products. Technologies include bioinformatics and genomics, artificial intelligence, data science, and computer science. Products are developed using bioengineering and material science among other methodologies.

The focus of researchers in this area is understanding the study, promotion, and optimization of health and well being with a focus on cancer (prevention, caregiving, symptoms), metabolic disorders (prevention, epidemiology), and neurosciences (mental health, addiction, autism).

Researchers in this area focus on investigating the effective integration of evidence-based practices and interventions into real world settings. Research topics include Health System Care Delivery (e.g. evidence based research, cost reduction and quality) and Adoption and Application of new and best practices.

Researchers in this area are focused on addressing the underlying factors that impact health outcomes and promoting equitable access to quality health care. Areas within this category include public heath (e.g. health equity, environmental health, rural health, maternal and child health, and other topics) and mental health (e.g. behavioral health, psychological health).
