Discovery begins here. UVA School of Medicine’s basic and translational research enterprise spans nine departments and a growing network of specialized centers — advancing fundamental science across cell biology, genomics, neuroscience, immunology, cardiovascular disease, cancer, and more.
Our faculty ask foundational questions about how life works at the molecular and cellular level, then pursue the translational pathways that connect those answers to new diagnostics, therapies, and treatments. Working across departments, centers, and core facilities, UVA researchers benefit from a deeply collaborative environment where disciplinary boundaries are starting points, not stopping points.
From the bench to early-phase application, basic and translational science at UVA School of Medicine is driven by curiosity, supported by world-class infrastructure, and oriented toward discoveries that matter.
