Overview
Research
With expertise across basic, clinical, and translational research, Stritch's research enterprise seeks greater understanding of how the human body functions, the role of disease progression (and prevention), and how to translate those bench to bedside discoveries more broadly to communities. We strive to accelerate the translation of fundamental science discoveries into treatments to improve human health.
Our comprehensive research infrastructure provides support at all levels of the research process – from grants, contracts, and technology transfer to compliance and a range of cores.
