BREAKTHROUGH RESEARCH Temple Health has experienced dramatic growth in the breadth and scope of its research enterprise over the past decade. As part of its strategic plan and with the support of a successful recent capital campaign, Temple’s scientists have been responsible for ground-breaking advancements in areas across the scientific spectrum, including cancer biology, cardiovascular and thrombosis research, cell and developmental biology, HIV research, immunology and autoimmunity, neuroscience, pharmacology, pulmonary research and substance abuse research. Most researchers maintain a base within one of the Temple Research Centers. While these centers support the efforts of faculty, graduate students and postdoctoral fellows, their boundaries are porous by design. Temple created shared resources—technology cores, service centers, administrative support, and community outreach teams—that eliminate duplication and build research quality and efficiency.
