HST Research Focus Areas
Innovating...
...at the intersection of science, engineering, and medicine.
Our multidisciplinary approach emphasizes the quantitative and molecular science of medicine and biomedical research, with a special focus on three major research focus areas:
HST researchers have the tools to non-invasively visualize and manipulate molecules, cells, tissues, and organs in previously impossible ways, enabling investigations into chronic conditions such as schizophrenia, arthritis, asthma, diabetes, and obesity. Their work may ultimately lead to new methodologies for identifying risk factors and new therapies for disease. More...
HST faculty are pioneering the emerging fields of biomedical informatics and integrative biology. The new information technologies and techniques they develop will enable scientists to organize and analyze massive volumes of data, creating opportunities for innovation across a range of biological scales--from genes and molecules to whole populations.
