Research

Brigham and Women's Hospital does more than treat patients. We also advance the science of medicine through groundbreaking research. In 2005 alone, we invested more than $370 million into ambitious and transformative research that will have a direct impact on creating new and better treatments for diseases and injuries.

Whether measured by the number of important discoveries we've made at BWH, the size of our research portfolio, or the volume of our publications, Brigham and Women's Hospital is one of the world's most successful research institutions. With creativity fueled by an entrepreneurial spirit and a cross-disciplinary approach to research, we are setting a new standard for research excellence in the 21st century.
