A Message From Our Research Director
We seek to be a catalyst for cutting-edge integrative medicine research that transcends biomedical and social/life science disciplines."
Director of Research, Osher Center for Integrative Health
Thank you for your interest in research at the Osher Center for Integrative Health at Northwestern University. We seek to be a catalyst for cutting-edge integrative medicine research that transcends biomedical and social/life science disciplines through synergy and collaboration with university-based clinical departments, centers and institutes; community-based organizations and initiatives; and policymaking bodies.
Our integrative medicine clinical research studies are based on:
- Rigorous methodological approaches and designs to advance the state of the science
- Multilevel measurement systems that span patient-reported, bio-behavioral and physiologic outcomes
- Translational and team science-based orientations to assure that findings lead to scalable, affordable and accessible solutions in real-world settings
It is an honor to serve as the Director of Research at the Osher Center. I do so with great gratitude and with a sense of excitement for what lies ahead. I look forward to supporting new partnerships and helping shape the next chapter of integrative health research at Northwestern and beyond.
