The College of Medicine will further focus research endeavors on fostering interdisciplinary collaborations
in clinical and basic science departments, incorporate engineering-based medical research, and translate
this research into clinical applications, including those that address unmet medical needs.

We strive to provide value-based, personalized medical care
as well as accessible, affordable technological advances
to our community in coordination with the University
of Illinois Hospital & Health Sciences System
