Translating Discovery Into Health Equity

From the genetic epidemiology of cardiovascular disease in ethnic populations to the physiology of sleep disorders, Morehouse School of Medicine (MSM) leads rigorous basic science, clinical, community health, and policy research to improve the health and well-being of people everywhere.

Our research portfolio in cancer, cardiovascular disease, neuroscience and HIV/AIDS, among other topics impacting underserved communities, is well-established with significant funding from leading research funders such as National Institutes of Health and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. 

In line with our mission, we are excited to foster the type of exploration that reduces and ultimately eliminates health disparities in this country.”

We lead and collaborate on initiatives to translate research discoveries into health equity by ensuring that every  project we undertake has an opportunity to move from the lab to the clinic to the community, applying out Tx TM philosophy. As a result, MSM scientists are also responsible for developing a range of innovative tools, including:

  • State-of-the-art labs and equipment 
  • Multidisciplinary research and collaboration opportunities
  • Bold and intentional integration between basic science research and clinical practices
