Welcome from the Vice Dean for Research
The University of Kentucky College of Medicine is a dynamic research powerhouse, and it is my absolute privilege to collaborate with the faculty, staff, and trainees across the college in their transformative research endeavors.
Our seven basic science departments, 18 clinical departments, and multiple centers are addressing critical questions in biomedicine, including in signature areas such as drug addiction and abuse, diabetes and obesity, cancer, cardiovascular, and neuroscience, and in emerging areas like infectious disease and lung disease.
