Over 3,000 researchers spread across more than 250 centers, institutes, and labs, each one pursuing cures, right here.
Better Care Through Research
Why Give To Research?
Millions of lives have been saved or improved thanks to medical discoveries made by University of Rochester Medical Center researchers:
They are making great strides in developing vaccines to prevent AIDS, new strains of “super flu,” and MRSA infections.
They are working to develop the first drug therapy to prevent osteoarthritis.
They may be close to finding a cure for muscular dystrophy.
And they are leading the nation in clinical trials and new treatments for neurologic diseases like Huntington’s disease and Parkinson’s disease.
With one of the most powerful university-based super computers in the nation, our researchers are turning big data into knowledge to help revolutionize the way we study, monitor, and treat disease.
When you give, your support goes directly toward helping our researchers make groundbreaking discoveries that can prevent and cure the most challenging diseases we face.
Who They Are And What They Do
Every day University of Rochester researchers advance the frontiers of understanding in the biological sciences and biomedicine. Each one is pursuing cures, right here in Rochester. View a list of all researchers at URMC
Connecting You To Research
Researchers at URMC are among the nation's leaders in designing and running complex clinical studies. The Medical Center is the hub for several international networks of researchers dedicated to finding new treatments in biomedicine. At any given time, there are several hundred clinical research studies underway at URMC, ranging from investigations of experimental drugs to the health impact of lifestyle changes.
With an average of $250 million per year in biomedical research funding (including several departments ranking among the top 10 in NIH funding), 1 million square feet of state-of-the-art research space, and high-end support services and shared resources, we're pursuing cures everyday.
