The mission of the Comparative Medicine Institute (CMI) is to enhance collaborative, translational, interdisciplinary approaches for the comparative study of animal and human diseases. The CMI is composed of interdisciplinary teams of more than 170 faculty from 23 departments, representing 6 colleges and 4 universities.
We achieve our mission by supporting transformational interdisciplinary ideas from faculty, graduate and professional students, clinical residents, postdoctoral fellows and undergraduates, and by facilitating and sustaining interactions between clinical and basic research groups within the university community.
