Academic Health Center

Diabetes
From stem cells to surgical solutions, we search for treatments, preventions and cures for diabetes.
Infectious Diseases
Interdisciplinary research means more breakthroughs, as we study and prevent global health threats.
Neurosciences
From Alzheimer’s to movement disorders, we reduce the toll of brain diseases on patients and families.
Cancer
Basic science and clinical studies combine, as we increase survival rates of some of the most deadly cancers.
Cardiovascular Disorders
Pioneers in early heart surgery, we discover new techniques, medications and devices to heal hearts.

The Academic Health Center may be best known for teaching, research, and clinical care. But outreach is also an important part of our mission.

Our public service programs link the University of Minnesota with citizens in direct and vital ways.

Community members get a taste of health care education through Mini Medical School. People learn about the biomedical research and their own health at our Minnesota State Fair exhibit.

Faculty and students help individuals and families in need through service to underserved communities. And when needs beyond the everyday arise, volunteers with our Medical Reserve Corps are ready to mobilize.
