Health Research, Technology, and Practice

Unparalleled expertise drives local and global impact

Penn is uniquely positioned to unlock cures, improve patient care, and transform clinical education, with a campus structure that stimulates collaboration and accelerates discovery across the health fields.

Here, world-renowned experts at Penn’s Dental, Nursing, Medicine, and Vet schools interface to drive global health forward—together with the researchers, policy influencers, and practitioners at the School of Social Policy & Practice and the forerunners of advanced medical technology at Penn Engineering.

The following areas represent opportunities to support a broad range of innovations in health—from Penn’s bench to bedside translational research like CAR T cell and mRNA technology, to new dual degree programs at Penn Vet, to Penn Dental’s mission to drive access with its initiatives in global oral health, care for people with disabilities, and more.

This important priority is part of a University-wide initiative to advance Penn’s pathbreaking work in medicine, public health, science, and technology.
