Current Research Activities
Research translates into patient access to the highest quality and latest advancements in medicine today. Programs in research enable our hospitals to bring new medical advances to the bedside – and to medical professionals and patients worldwide.
Brigham and Women's Hospital and Massachusetts General Hospital continue to top the list of independent hospital recipients of National Institutes of Health (NIH) funding in the country. McLean Hospital ranks as a top recipient among private psychiatric hospitals.
Partners researchers are at the forefront of ongoing research activities in drug discovery, genetics, clinical patient care, diagnostics, information technology and preventive medicine.
As an integrated health care system, when we make a medical discovery at any one of our hospitals, patients at all of our hospitals and health centers benefit.
