Research Innovation

A culture that rewards creative thinking and encourages continuous, rapid-fire experimentation is essential to accelerating discovery — and impact.

At Dell Medical School, creative leaders are working to build a future-facing health ecosystem that encourages and empowers a broad set of innovators, from entrepreneurial start-ups to new collaborators who are redefining the intersections of academia and industry.

All the while, innovation is advanced by collaborative programs designed to quickly identify promising health research — and to help speed it from the laboratory to the marketplace.
