FOCUS
At Augusta University, we harness the power of collaboration every day, and we’re stronger for it. Our interdisciplinary and translational approach to research and scholarship ensures that we are always ready to harness the wisdom and power that comes from our colleagues from all corners of our ever-expanding campus.
As home to the state’s only public medical college and the only dental school, we are infusing the next generation of health care providers with the knowledge to provide the best, most innovative health care to all Georgians, making good on our promise to make Georgia our campus. But it doesn’t stop there. Certainly, our research efforts keep us healthier, but they also keep us safer, better educated, better prepared and better connected to the world we live in.
One of four comprehensive research universities in Georgia, our scientists are dedicated to finding innovative solutions to illness and disease disproportionately affecting our state, including cancer, stroke and heart disease.
Our research makes us stronger, and our collective future is brighter because of it.
