Setting the stage for world-changing discoveries

At the KU School of Medicine, success is measured not as a destination, but as a quest for greater discovery and continual learning. Our dedicated researchers, students, physicians and faculty strive every day to advance the science of saving lives.

Groundbreaking research projects from the school's departments, centers and institutes have attracted national recognition and funding. Ten departments — five clinical and five basic science — made the top 25 in National Institutes of Health funding in 2011.

With a commitment to developing state-of-the-art research facilities, the school provides its researchers with easy access to core resources and an environment that encourages discovery and collaboration.

Meet our experts 

To learn about the people, departments, graduate fields, facilities and resources at the University of Kansas Medical Center, use our Meet Our Experts website, which collectively comprises the research and scholarship, teaching, clinical and service work of all disciplines on the Kansas City campus.

Each expert's profile includes his or her name, photo, e-mail address, group affiliations, research focus, collaborations, publications included in the major databases, and other items submitted to the library by the faculty or staff.

The goals of Meet Our Experts are to promote the work and collaboration of researchers and clinical experts at KU Medical Center.
