Improve human health through innovative, interdisciplinary biomedical discoveries, spark scientific curiosity and serve society through translational outcomes, in partnership with the University of Wisconsin-Madison. We take scientific challenges head-on with confidence and persistence. Science cannot thrive by asking safe questions, so we support... researchers who take risks that may yield greater rewards to human health. Our seven research themes unify 12 principal investigators conducting, enabling and translating research in the fields of Regenerative Biology , Metabolism , Virology , Medical Engineering with expertise in High Throughput Computing and Biomedical Ethics . We invest in world-class, research-intensive scholars with the confidence to take a high-risk, high-reward approach to science. Our community of experienced investigators includes stem cell pioneer Jamie Thomson ; virologist and Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI) Investigator Paul Ahlquist ; medical imaging innovator Melissa Skala ; biochemist and PECASE award winner Dave Pagliarini ; and HHMI Investigator Phil Newmark , just to name a few. We compete for scientists fearlessly pursuing basic questions in biology. New scientific talent is the essential ingredient for research excellence, a powerful catalyst that extends beyond our institute and across the University of Wisconsin-Madison. We believe society is strengthened by science. Through our unique Discovery Outreach programs, we engage an inquisitive public in our discoveries by hosting, facilitating and developing science programs for thousands of children, families and educators across Wisconsin. Curiosity: We embrace and encourage bold questions. We conduct fearless science and follow the results where they take us. Collaboration: We cant do this alone. We partner with the University of Wisconsin-Madison to achieve the greatest outcomes. Integrity: We pursue our mission with rigor, discipline and honesty. We treat everyone with dignity and respect. Inspiration: We believe society ...Read More
