Improving the body's healing capacity begins here

Pushing the boundaries in translational research

The Translational Medicine Institute's goal is to discover and deliver solutions that utilize the body’s healing capacity and improve the lives of animals and the humans that care for them. Explore our research themes and capabilities, familiarize yourself with our laboratories and research units, explore equipment, and learn how the Institute is at the forefront of utilizing translational medicine to shape the future of One Health.

Research within the Institute focuses on three major themes: Musculoskeletal Health and Repair, Infectious and Immune Disease, and Regenerative Medicine and Cellular Therapy.

Under each theme are capabilities from our laboratories and research units. The Institute's success in improving the lives of animals and the humans who care for them is dependent on our principal investigators and faculty working in collaboration with these laboratories and units. It's what allows us to create real outcomes that impact human and veterinary medicine on a global scale.
