The best hospitals and universities in the world are known not only for their clinical care and educational quality, but also for their research. Research allows patients to participate in trials of new pharmaceutical drugs and to receive cutting edge care protocols that lead to cures; informs great teaching; and advances the recruitment and retention of the best basic scientists and physician-scientists in the world. Research at WVU targets preventing and treating disease in areas of greatest prevalence in our state and nation, and at the Lung Center, focus areas include asthma, obstructive lung disease, emphysema, and the effects of prenatal childhood particulate exposure.

WVU is actively looking to engage with individuals, foundations, and corporations committed to improvements in the benefits research brings to patients.
