In addition to providing patients with the very best care available, research is an important focus at Memorial Hospital. Our investigations range from clinical trials, which test the safety and efficacy of new treatments, to translational research, which acts as a bridge between discoveries made in the laboratory and those made in the clinic, to mathematical and computational research focused analyzing and interpreting biomedical data. We also have a team of investigators devoted to the development of new drugs, from basic research to animal studies to early clinical trials.
