Diabetes, Obesity & Metabolism
Researchers in this collaborative, internationally recognized center examine diabetes, obesity, fatty liver disease and atherosclerosis — among the most common, costly, and preventable of all health problems.
Advancing innovation & research in health care
In addition to research conducted within our colleges, NEOMED advances innovation and research in healthcare through seven focus areas of excellence that are of paramount importance to both our mission and the well-being of our communities.
Watanakunakorn Student Fellowships
The Watanakunakorn Student Fellowships in Infectious Disease are open to members of the Infectious Disease Interest Group and aim to further academic development for NEOMED in Infectious Disease.
Fellowships in Infectious Disease
Advancing knowledge across the biomedical sciences
Our investigators examine the biological foundations of health and disease through sustained, inquiry-driven research. These efforts center on seven Research Focus Areas that reflect our strengths and priorities.
Educational Research
This group advances research on how people learn, teach and assess in healthcare, developing evidence-based practices to improve training and student outcomes.
Hearing Research
These researchers examine how the central nervous system supports hearing, communication and swallowing, and explore interventions that may improve related disorders.
Health Services Research
Scientists in our Health Services Research area improve the health and healthcare of individuals with severe and persistent mental illness.
Heart & Blood Vessel Disease
Advancing the understanding of heart and blood vessels diseases with the goal of stopping their progression and ultimately, curing them.
Musculoskeletal Research
Focused on developing bone and tissue regrowth processes to address the needs of our aging population with debilitating conditions such as arthritis, cancer, osteoporosis and bone fractures.
Neurodegenerative Disease & Aging
Focusing on three of the most common age‑related neurodegenerations: Alzheimer’s disease (AD), Parkinson’s disease (PD), and glaucoma.
