Center for Childhood Cancer Genomics (CCCG)

The Center for Childhood Cancer Genomics seeks to use population genomics to understand the causes of childhood cancer, improve outcomes of therapy, and mitigate late effects. The ultimate goal of Center research is to predict risk, enable early detection, and someday prevent childhood cancer.

Lillehei Heart Institute

The LHI will be a cardiovascular research institute that actively engages the entire University of Minnesota and embraces all cardiovascular research domains including basic science, clinical and translational science, and population science to promote greater interdisciplinary collaborations.

Human Milk and Nutrition Research Group at the University of Minnesota

Breastfeeding and lactation are fundamental components of human biology and a rich source of information that we can use to promote and protect the health and well-being of parents and infants.

We employ cutting-edge technologies to probe the interplay of the social determinants of health with human biological variation to improve maternal and infant nutrition.

Center for Leadership Education in Maternal and Child Public Health

The Center for Leadership Education in Maternal and Child Public Health has been at the University of MN since 1954. Focused on skills development to serve the programmatic and policy needs of maternal and child health (MCH) populations, our students work to improve the health of women, children, fathers, and families.

Institute for Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism

The Institute for Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism at the University of Minnesota is uniquely poised to become a premier research institute that is focused on advancing knowledge of the pathophysiology of diabetes and its complications through cutting edge research.

Integrative Biology and Physiology

The research mission of the Department of Integrative Biology and Physiology (IBP) is dedicated to an integrative systems biology approach to biomedical discovery. We partner with colleagues across disciplines to investigate questions ranging from the gene/molecule to the whole animal, while striving for excellence in research and dissemination of new knowledge with local, national, and global impact.

School of Medicine: Division of Diabetes, Endocrinology and Metabolism

The division has increased its faculty with research in diabetes, thyroid disease, and reproductive health. The expanded capabilities allow the division to remain active in patient care, teaching students and residents, providing educational seminars and CME programs, training endocrinology fellows, and continuing established research programs while developing new ones.
