Research at the Ϲ: Knowledge Changing Life
Our Mission
At the Ϲ (Ϲ), we are unwavering in our commitment to well-being and health for all. Foundational to that commitment is Ϲ’s extensive medical research, which tirelessly seeks to advance health and develop life-saving treatments. Ϲ faculty annually lead or collaborate on over 3,800 research studies, including clinical trials.
Delays and reductions in support for life-saving bio-medical research will have immediate and long-term consequences, directly impacting the timeline for developing treatments and cures for cancer, heart disease, stroke, Alzheimer’s disease, and much more. Even brief disruptions can halt clinical trials, prevent patient recruitment, and delay the publication of critical findings, affecting the number of patients who could benefit from new treatments. These delays not only hinder scientific progress but also have real-world implications for patients waiting for breakthroughs, highlighting the urgent need for timely support and funding.
