Research Facilities
UHC’s affiliation with CWRU’s Schools of Medicine, Nursing and Dentistry forms Ohio’s largest biomedical research center. The teaching atmosphere fosters a high level of care ensuring that diagnostic procedures and medical/surgical treatment represent the most advanced medical knowledge and technology available. Library facilities are available within the hospital as well as in the Departments of Neurological Surgery and Neurology. More extensive collections are housed within the School of Medicine Health Sciences Library and at the Allen Memorial Medical Library, adjacent to the hospital. The residents and physicians have privileges at these libraries. The Biomedical Research Building at the School of Medicine houses the Laboratory of Experimental Neurological Surgery where facilities are available for animal experimentation, tissue culture, microbiology, metabolic analysis and electrophysiology. The Wolstein Research, housing 320,000 square feet of research space, opened in October of 2003. Additional research space is located in Wearn Laboratories of UHC where the imaging research laboratory is located. The outstanding basic science departments at CWRU School of Medicine, including the Department of Neurosciences, afford excellent opportunities for collaborative research.
