Our researchers are active on multiple fronts to improve the human condition. This includes partnering with physicians and clinicians to build new technologies for diagnostic procedures and medical training, developing new analysis tools to explore the human genome, and emerging research and scholarship involving the microbiome. Much of this activity takes places in the multiple centers and several large interdisciplinary labs that UMIACS supports.
