Georgetown University Medical Center’s biomedical and health sciences research fosters interdisciplinary collaboration, enhances basic science and translational research capacity, and develops the next generation of researchers.
Our Areas of Focus in Research
Biomedical and health sciences research at Georgetown University Medical Center places special emphasis on four areas.
Cancer Research
Cancer-focused work takes place at Georgetown University’s Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center, the only National Cancer Institute (NCI)-designated Comprehensive Cancer Center in the Washington area.
Georgetown links the promise of our ever-deepening understanding and scientific knowledge of the mind and brain to prevention, new treatments and restorative therapies, while providing advanced training and education opportunities.
As a Catholic and Jesuit university, Georgetown understands its responsibility to help meet the world’s most profound needs. Guided by that tradition, Georgetown University Medical Center educates and develops generations of researchers, clinicians, and health professionals, equipping them to deploy their expertise in service to the common good.
