Research in the College of Medicine

The College of Medicine is home to multiple centers which bring together faculty, from across the College of Medicine, with shared research interests and activities. These centers span the state of Tennessee, the United States, and the globe in efforts to impact health and wellness.

Clinical trials are an important part of the College of Medicine research enterprise, since these are the studies that directly test the safety and efficacy of new treatments in human patients.

At UTHSC, graduate research training is coordinate by and administered by the College of Graduate Health Sciences. However, opportunities are available for research training at all levels ranging from students to postdoctoral fellows and beyond.

Research faculty in the UTHSC College of Medicine are appointed throughout many of our different departments. Some of our faculty are associated with Institutes, which include groups of faculty members, from across the different Colleges and campuses of UTHSC, with shared research interests and activities. If you are considering research training in the College of Medicine, you are welcome and encouraged to reach out to those faculty members whose research programs are of interest to you.
