Driving Discovery Across Departments
In our clinical and basic science departments, we advance innovation at the intersection of education, research and patient care. With faculty who frequently hold joint appointments across our hospital affiliates, collaboration isn't just encouraged—it's built into how we work.
Uniting Expertise Through Centers and Institutes
Our centers and institutes, such as the Case Comprehensive Cancer Center and Clinical and Translational Science Collaborative, bring together leading minds from across disciplines to confront medicine's most complex challenges—from cancer and neuroscience to health equity and policy. This is interdisciplinary collaboration at its most ambitious, and its most consequential.
Research‑Focused, Experience‑Powered Education
At CWRU School of Medicine, research is a core part of the medical student experience. Our students engage directly in basic, clinical and translational research alongside expert faculty mentors, within CWRU and across our clinical partners. The result? A deeper scientific foundation and a clearer understanding of how discovery shapes the future of patient care.
Research that Goes Beyond the Lab
At CWRU, the boundary between scientific innovation and human impact is where our most important work happens.
One example of translational research with purpose: Bolu Ajiboye’s lab, where researchers combine brain-computer interface and functional electrical stimulation technologies to restore function after paralysis by reconnecting the hand and arm to the brain.
