How Research Benefits Our Patients
Engineering “plastic” tissue. Keeping fresh-cut fruit safe from food-borne pathogens. Using mathematical modeling to spot epidemiologic trends. Rutgers people across scores of disciplines engage in research that focuses on human health. It’s one of the advantages of a large research university.
Rutgers' health sciences research activity is the largest and most comprehensive in New Jersey. Our research spans the spectrum from “bench side" (laboratory) to "bedside" (direct care of people). Through research we uncover the core processes of health sciences and health care; test and develop original interventions for patient care; translate discoveries into innovations that advance health care and grow the economy; better understand relationships among basic science, patient care, and society; and prepare future generations of scientists, practitioners, and policymakers.
Helplines
Rutgers University Behavioral Health Care Call Center provides access to 24/7 helplines supporting various needs.
