Make a Difference

Our faculty physicians, scientists, and public health experts are passionate about combining their efforts, mobilizing resources, and developing tools to help save lives and prevent the spread of disease. From laboratory scientists delving into the genetics and behavior of the SARS-CoV-2 virus that causes COVID-19, to public health experts developing models to predict the disease’s spread, to physician-investigators leading clinical trials in the quest for therapies that may be effective and widely adopted to treat the pandemic, our efforts to combat this unprecedented challenge are underway all across the medical school. 

Thank you to the generous donors who are supporting this vital ongoing work.
