Office of Research

Discovery to Improving Health

Research resides at the core of any great university. At TTUHSC, research thrives across schools and disciplines. Our faculty, staff and students continually win new research grants and awards to promote the prevention of disease and the treatment of illness. It’s research that can be directly applied to patient care in Texas and to the world beyond.

The Office of Research provides leadership, direction and management of research administration, infrastructure and services for faculty, staff and students. We oversee the operations of the following areas:

• Research Integrity Office (RIO)
• Quality Improvement Review (QI)
• Laboratory Animal Resources Center (LARC)
• Office of Sponsored Programs (OSP)
• Imaging and Molecular Cores (Lubbock)
• Safety Services
• Export Control
• Financial Disclosure

FEATURED RESEARCHER:

My laboratory is investigating the immunological mechanisms responsible for the tissue damage observed in the inflammatory bowel diseases (Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis) and in graft vs. host disease.  A major goal of our research is to translate our scientific discoveries into new therapeutic strategies to treat these immunological disease.
