Research
Research is an integral part of our
mission. The acquisition of knowledge is fundamental to
diagnosing and treating disease. Greater understanding
in medical science leads to discoveries that can help
prevent or cure illness. We strive to be a
national leader in pursuing scientific investigation
and developing programs to advance medical and
scientific knowledge, which will ultimately contribute
to the health of the public, the practice of medicine,
and the education of health professionals.
The high priority given to research is reflected in the original plans of integrating
adjacent clinical facilities at the medical center. The General Clinical Research Center
at Penn State Hershey Medical Center established by the National Institutes of Health
provides an environment where clinical investigators can observe and study human
physiology entities and their treatment. A seven-story biomedical research building on
Penn State Hershey campus opened its doors in 1992.
