RESEARCH THAT ADVANCES MEDICINE
At the University of Minnesota Medical School, we’re leading the way to new treatments and methods of care.
Our research serves as an economic engine that drives Minnesota’s health industry. We develop new health technologies and we collaborate with Minnesota’s biomedical companies to bring these technologies to clinics and hospitals worldwide.
We are finding better and faster ways to translate our laboratory research into clinical trials for patients—the only path to new treatments and cures.

Research Support Services for Faculty and Collaborators
Research at the Medical School extends from the basic sciences to translational and clinical research. The Medical School supports this work by providing a variety of funding opportunities, connecting individuals and teams to University and external grant funding, creating and disseminating tools and support strategies, providing information and direction on research space and facilities, and supporting the Centers, Institutes, Programs, and Medical Discovery Teams.
This state-funded initiative aims to solve complex health problems int he areas of Addiction, Biology of Aging, Optical Imaging and Brain Science and Rural & American Indian Health Disparities.
The interdepartmental and interdisciplinary centers, institutes and programs within the Medical School serve vital roles in advancing the research and educational missions.
Â
Our researchers, educators, and medical professionals thrive in an environment where cross-discipline teamwork is valued, encouraged, and rewarded.
Research Awards
Each year we celebrate the outstanding research achievements of our faculty at the Dean’s Distinguished Research Lectureship (DDRL). Our Medical School Department Heads nominate two faculty members, one from their department and one from elsewhere in the Medical School. The nominees that represent the best research faculty in the basic and clinical sciences are selected to receive the Distinguished Lectureship Award. Awardees deliver a presentation at the event detailing the story of their research.
In addition to honoring the Distinguished Lectureship Awardees, we also recognize faculty members whose names will be added to the Medical School Wall of Scholarship. Faculty listed on the Wall of Scholarship must have a primary appointment in our Medical School and be current faculty members. For work to be featured, the faculty member must have first or last author credits on a publication that has been cited at least 1,000 times as indicated by two of three major citation indices (Google Scholar, Scopus, Web of Science).
