Clinical and translational research
Researchers at Dell Medical School improve patient and public health through clinical and translational science.
New and promising cures, treatments, devices and diagnostics are studied intensely in clinical trials with the generous participation of patients and healthy volunteers. In tandem, observations from the lab, clinic and community inform and refine how biomedical research is conducted.
The result is efficient, comprehensive science; better treatments for rare, chronic and complex conditions; and patient care backed by the latest advances in medicine.

Translational research
Dell Med’s Health Transformation Research Institute provides leadership and infrastructure to support robust, innovative and world-class clinical and late-stage translational research. The institute helps investigators overcome scientific and operational bottlenecks — and cut the time it takes to develop and share new treatments and public health measures.
Technology innovation and commercialization
Students, researchers and innovators use the University’s vibrant innovation ecosystem to create new technologies that improve how healthcare is delivered and experienced.
Dell Med’s Office of Innovation and Entrepreneurship leads programs that accelerate the translation of medical innovation to healthcare at scale. Established and aspiring entrepreneurs receive mentorship, funding and industry guidance to develop their ideas into business-ready solutions with real-world clinical impact.
To train and develop future healthcare innovators, the Cockrell School of Engineering and Dell Med lead the Clinical Biodesign Program, which pairs medical students with graduate-level engineers to collaboratively identify unmet clinical needs and design innovative solutions with commercial viability.
Discovery to Impact, UT's technology development and commercialization office, brings research discoveries to the marketplace, launches startups and connects innovators with established businesses and industry partners.
