This future requires more than the next big leap in biomedicine and medical technology. We must also gain a more complete understanding of the environmental and socioeconomic factors that contribute significantly to human health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n \n <\/div>\n\n\n <\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

At USC Dornsife, we don\u2019t make hard distinctions between art and science. We explore the entire range of complexities that affect human health. Together with collaborators across the university, our experts explore everything from the fundamental molecular mechanisms underpinning biology to the ways that culture and traditions influence therapeutics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n \n

At USC Dornsife, researchers aim to stop the progression of debilitating conditions, send them into remission, and prevent them from happening to begin with. We do this not just to create a world free of disease and infirmity but to unlock the entirety of human potential.<\/p>\n

We invite you to join us in realizing this vision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n \n <\/div>\n\n\n \n \n \n
