Basic Biomedical Sciences

The Division of Basic Biomedical Sciences at the Sanford School of Medicine is the home to faculty with a wide breadth of research and teaching interests. Our faculty create an environment of innovative, collaborative and interdisciplinary research aimed at examining mechanisms contributing to human disease. By using this mechanistic approach, our faculty hope to develop novel approaches for the diagnosis, management and treatment of disease processes.

In addition, our faculty engage in the education of undergraduate, graduate and medical students, both in the classroom and in the research laboratory. We create a unique learning environment to help our students understand the complexity of the human organism, and then translate this into diagnostic and therapeutic development. It is through discovery, education and service that the faculty in the Division of Basic Biomedical Sciences become leaders in their areas of scholarship.
