Research Units

The Transformative Power of Interdisciplinary Collaborations…

We currently focus on three member-identified areas of strength that we refer to as research units. Each of the research units was identified and structured by participating faculty. Collaborations within and between the three units will lead to transformational advances in biomedical sciences impacting the health of animals and humans. In addition, the units provide a unique environment to train the next generation of translational research scientists.

	Data-Enabled Modeling Focused on applying diverse tools, such as stochastic multi-scale simulation, statistical approaches, and machine learning, to develop trustworthy models that can be compared with experimental data to validate understanding of biological processes, make mechanistic predictions, and accelerate therapeutic design.
	Clinical & Translational Sciences Focused on areas that span basic, translational, preclinical, and clinical sciences to clarify disease pathophysiology and utilize animal models to expedite the development and commercialization of diagnostic tests and therapeutics for a wide range of diseases.
	Engineered Biomedical Systems Focused on creation and implementation of in-vitro and in-vivo tissue biomodels, regenerative therapeutics, and translational biomanufacturing for clinical applications.
