URMC / Health Lab / Projects

Projects

Projects originate with affiliated faculty or Health Lab team members. All project leaders are welcome to bring updates and questions to the team, and our space allows for folks to be involved in a few projects at any given time. UR Health Lab co-directors Dave Mitten and Michael Hasselberg provide insight and strategy for all, and resources are divided among ongoing projects as needed.
