Research
Our faculty can best be described as multidisciplinary with expertise in the basic, clinical, social, and behavioral sciences.
This diverse focus and departmental structure sets the stage for collaborate research opportunities with colleagues in the Medical School Duluth, local and regional health care systems, and across other departments in the health sciences. Students play an important role in research laboratories, and numerous opportunities exist for students who have a desire to gain research experience as an undergraduate, professional, or graduate student.
Research Facilities
Our facilities include a Pharmaceutical Sciences Research Laboratory with over 4000 square feet of laboratory space that serves five bench scientists and their research teams. An extensive and impressive list of state-of-the-art equipment is accessible to researchers in support of their research efforts.
