The stories highlighted on these pages represent only a small part of the biomedical research that our scientists and their research teams do every day as part of their search for medical breakthroughs that are predictive, preventative and personalized.

The theme of this year’s magazine, Bench to Bedside: Better Health Through Discovery, acknowledges the progress being made by the university’s Discovery Institutes, the translational science initiative now entering its third year. Aligned along our research strengths, the Discovery Institutes place researchers, physicians and other health professionals on the same team to more quickly turn laboratory discoveries into clinical applications.
