Current Research

The strategic plan for surgical research centers on the development of disease and discipline-based specialty programs. These research focus groups are organized around surgeons and scientists with common interests to foster interaction, innovation, and mentoring. In so doing, our goal is to transcend traditional departmental and divisional barriers through joint surgeon/scientist recruitments and appointments, shared research space, and targeted investments in administration and core research infrastructure. These programs will yield high quality research and, importantly, serve as a breeding ground for both young surgeons with a sophisticated background in modern science as well as basic investigators with an enhanced appreciation for surgical disease.
