RESEARCH AT CASE

At Case School of Medicine, you will find top-notch leaders in biomedical science and exceptional facilities. We count eight Nobel Prize winners among our alumni and former faculty, and engage members of the National Academy amongst the faculty.

Many of our foundation basic science departments are routinely top-ranked in the nation by the National Institutes of Health, and with the greatest NIH grant support for any institution in Ohio, Case provides the highest quality research training.

New interdisciplinary initiatives add excitement to the work we do, with programs in genomics and bioinformatics, cancer biology, the study of the brain and the biology of infections, as well as emerging programs in imaging research and nanotechnology.

Our research profile continues to grow with the opening of the $110 million Wolstein Research building in 2003 that brings together the research initiatives of Case and clinical and translational departments of University Hospitals of Cleveland.

Cross-Institutional initiatives join us with hospital and commercial partners to provide state-of-the art research programs. For example, a new center for Stem Cell and Regenerative Medicine, representing a consortium of Case Western Reserve University (CWRU), The Cleveland Clinic, University Hospitals of Cleveland (UHC), Athersys Inc. and other research partners has garnered significant support and is committed to developing new stem cell technologies to treat disease. The Cleveland Center for Structural Biology links scientists from Case, The Cleveland Clinic, Cleveland State University in studies on molecular structure.

We're excited about shaping an academic and biotechnology complex dedicated to biomedical science and its applications on the former site of Mt. Sinai Medical Center that is now Case's West Quad.

Case Research Facilities include state of the art imaging cores and transgenic animal facilities.
