Medical School Campaign Impact

Fall 2017

RESEARCH TO IMPROVE LIVES

A vital component of the BrownTogether Campaign is investment in Brown’s biomedical research enterprise. Fortunately, Brown’s integrated research teams are hard at work accelerating medical innovations for those suffering from diseases like Alzheimer’s and arthritis. Innovation is paramount in translational science, and it has benefits that go far beyond the patient. It provides mentoring opportunities for faculty and real-life scientific and entrepreneurial experiences for students and trainees. Read on to see how we are moving the needle on Brown’s status as a research powerhouse.

Best wishes,

Senior Vice President for Health Affairs and Dean of Medicine and Biological Sciences
