DRIVEN TO DISCOVER
Our world-class research is advancing knowledge and transforming clinical practice to improve health.
Advancing Science and Medicine
As a large academic medical center set within the thriving University of Utah campus, U of U Health is uniquely positioned to tackle complex issues in our society. With scientists down the hall from health care providers and across campus from scholars in diverse fields, we bring interdisciplinary groups together. When we combine their broad scientific expertise with the large clinical footprint of our health system, we benefit our community, the nation, and the world.

Preventing Firearm Suicide
In Utah, for every gun-related homicide death, there are five gun-related suicide deaths. Evan Goldstein, PhD, shares how his own experiences have driven his work investigating the factors that affect suicide by gun, with the goal of providing targeted interventions to historically underserved populations.
Beyond the Genome: Project to Map DNA Modifications and Gene Activity Across Lifespan, Generations
Long-term, heritable changes in gene activity fundamentally shape our biology, trigger many of our diseases, and set the clock on how we age. Now, a team of U of U Health scientists led by principal investigator Deborah Neklason, PhD, are starting an ambitious new project to map epigenetic changes across the entire human genome.
