The Department of Internal Medicine at the University of Cincinnati (UC) is deeply committed to its research mission. Recognizing that high quality research activities enhance its clinical and education missions, faculty engage in basic and clinical research as well as translational research, known as the "bench to bed-side" approach - translating basic science research discoveries into medical innovations.

This approach has sparked collaboration between many medical disciplines within the College of Medicine, the Colleges of Pharmacy and Education, faculty at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center, the Veterans Affairs Medical Center and with other researchers in laboratories across the globe.

Today, UC is ranked as one of America's top public research universities for expenditures, according to the National Science Foundation. Continuing the universities momentum to become a research powerhouse, many of our clinical and basic scientists have become internationally and nationally recognized for their expertise in AIDS, blood disorders, bone health, cancer, cardiovascular health, diabetes and obesity, health outcomes, infectious diseases, kidney-, liver-, pancreatic diseases, interstitial or rare lung diseases and cystic fibrosis.
