Centers, Institutes & Labs

The Washington University Center for Diabetes Translation Research (WU-CDTR) is one of eight NIDDK-funded Centers for Diabetes Translation Research. The WU-CDTR consists of six cores which offer a range of services that support and enhance diabetes translation research for center members.

The Health Intervention and Treatment Research Lab conducts clinical research to enhance our understanding of how and why people change their health behaviors. The lab's research focuses primarily on addictive behaviors (e.g., alcohol and other drug use) but also targets other health behaviors, such as sleep and nutrition. Our goal is to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of prevention and treatment among high-risk populations (e.g., young adults, Veterans).

The Health and Behavioral Risk Research Center is the measurement and surveillance unit of the Department of Health Management and Informatics at the University of Missouri School of Medicine. The center was established in 1999 and is an invaluable resource to faculty and staff conducting research both within the MU system and beyond. HBRRC is dedicated to providing the highest quality data collection, analysis and reporting services to researchers and research entities at the state, federal, local, institutional and foundational level. 

Dr. Habib Zaghouani's Immunity & Autoimmunity Research laboratory focuses on the biology of T lymphocytes and their contribution to the development of immunity and autoimmunity.

The University of Missouri Institute for Clinical and Translational Science (MU-iCATS) serves as the focal point for MU programs that transform research findings into solutions for human health issues.

The Institute for Women’s Health Research (IWHR) conducts innovative research to aid the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of major diseases that affect women.

The I²NM² is a University of Missouri research center dedicated to the discovery and application of fundamental and translational medical science based upon previously unexplored chemistry combined with nanotechnology and the biosciences. 

 The purpose of the MU Center for Translational Neuroscience is to create a very effective and well-structured platform to connect, co-ordinate and support investigators in various disciplines.

The MU Student Health Center provides medical care, behavioral health care and student wellness programs for all MU students. 

Current research in the Segal laboratory centers on understanding how myofibers and microvessels interact during regeneration and reinnervation following acute injury. Complementary studies center on understanding how vascular smooth muscle cells and endothelial cells of the vascular wall develop resilience to oxidative stress.
