Research

Discovery and Innovation‌

Since our inception in 1807, our faculty have made numerous advances that have dramatically and measurably impacted and improved people’s lives. Our research has not just been theoretical science, but has always had a patient-centered focus. Every day, School of Medicine faculty are conducting groundbreaking research, asking “big science” questions, and making discoveries leading to new treatments and cures. Our physician-scientists truly embody the School of Medicine’s guiding principle of discovery-based medicine. Our approach to treatment, procedures and management of patients at hospitals across the University of Maryland Medical System is based on fundamental research conducted in the laboratory.

The School of Medicine’s areas of research focus include:

Basic Science Research

Medical breakthroughs are built upon the foundation of basic science research research. The focus is on improving our understanding of health and human diseases at their most basic levels in order to develop more tailored therapies. Faculty scientists are turning more attention to chronic diseases with high morbidity, high mortality, and high disability – areas where we can make an impact and transform lives for the better.

Our brain scientists are breaking new ground, uncovering insights that have the potential to improve treatment for patients with a range of ailments, from brain trauma to schizophrenia. and amp;amp;amp;amp;nbsp;The Brain Science Researchers Consortium Unit and amp;amp;amp;amp;nbsp;includes senior basic and clinical faculty with a common goal to answer “big science” questions in key areas of neuroscience research.

Almost everyone alive today has been touched by cancer and amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;mdash;perhaps a family member, friend, co-worker or neighbor. Learn how University of Maryland researchers and physician-scientists are investigating new therapies.

Cardiovascular Research

Thanks to collaboration across research and clinical specialties, researchers are tackling complex heart conditions through discoveries and advancements in the laboratory, clinic and operating room.

Genomics Research

The emergence of genomic medicine and the growth of personalized and preventive medicine will catalyze fundamental changes at many different levels in the future of health care and health systems. In short, genomics is revolutionizing medicine and healthcare, with the development of new life-saving diagnostics and medications.

Global Health and Vaccinology

Fighting diseases such as AIDS, EBOLA, Malaria and MERS, vaccinologists, virologists and other infectious disease experts at the University of Maryland are helping to protect people in 34 countries through the activities of the Institute of Human Virology and the Center for Vaccine Development.

The and amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;nbsp;Department of Physical Therapy and amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;nbsp;is developing novel methods of rehabilitation using state-of-the-art research techniques and methodologies. The focus is on improving quality of life and restoring and sustaining independence, especially for people living with disability as a result of age.

Stem Cell Research

By understanding the inner mechanics of how stem cells work, the Center for Stem Cell Biology and Regenerative Medicine promises to make breakthroughs that will enable us to diagnose diseases earlier, cure them more effectively, and someday prevent them.
