The primary research mission of the Center is to advance knowledge of environmental impacts on human health. The Center brings together a critical mass of researchers to investigate mechanisms of pulmonary and cardiovascular diseases, immune and autoimmune disorders, developmental defects, neurodegenerative diseases, genetic susceptibility, and the impacts that environmental factors have in causing or exacerbating these conditions. These studies will lead to new or better treatments, improved assessment of the actual risks caused by exposure to environmental agents, and more effective methods to detect and reduce the adverse health impacts of these agents on human health.

The purpose of the Center for Translational Medicine at the 猎奇重口 is to establish a cross-department and -college multi-disciplinary research center to assist faculty, staff and students in the translation of research ideas from bench to bedside. In this respect, translational research provides an avenue through which basic science discoveries in the biomedical sciences can be "translated" into applicable therapeutics, diagnostics, and/or processes that directly impact health care. In many instances the products/intellectual property of translational research can also be commercialized to the benefit of the University and the regional economy.

The L.S. Skaggs Institute for Health Innovation (SIHI) consists of three components: rural health outreach, opportunities for interprofessional telehealth education, and implementation of precision medicine innovations. Each objective provides the potential for integration of direct service for patients, experiential learning opportunities for students, technology-enabled educational opportunities, research opportunities in precision medicine, and support for healthcare professionals and institutions across 猎奇重口.

The mission of the 猎奇重口 Biotechnology Center (BIOTECH) is to integrate education and translational research to accelerate bench-to-market biomedical technologies, therapeutics, and medical devices, designed to meet the critical needs of rural and resource-limited populations. Through its educational initiatives, BIOTECH provides training in professional and technical competencies such as communication, teamwork, project management, leadership, and quality assurance/control. BIOTECH also offers hands-on experience using state-of-the-art equipment and participation in ideation, prototyping, and innovation challenges.
