Research Matters
At Aurora: A system for research and discovery
Musings on Research and Academic Relations
At any given time, Aurora Health Care is involved in hundreds of
interdisciplinary and collaborative research projects and more clinical
trials than any other health system in the state. The cutting-edge research we
do is an integral part of Aurora’s fabric and a key component of our
mission. It is respected in the scientific community and vital to quality
patient care, safety and cost control.
Our research ranges from understanding basic mechanisms at the molecular
and cellular level to translational applications that are transformative and
inform best practices. It ultimately affects the health of populations for
whom
disease prevention is particularly critical. Aurora research also is a critical component for more than
1,200 students, residents and fellows who are educated and trained in Aurora
facilities each year.
Since joining Aurora in November of 2008, I have been amazed at the
depth, breadth and excellence of the research conducted here and decided it
is important to share our news more widely. As a not-for-profit health care
provider, we are committed to serving not only our patients but also the
communities, nation and world in which we live. The research that is
conducted in our clinics, hospitals and laboratories reaches well beyond our
walls to improve discovery and lives -- and we want you to know about it.
I hope you will enjoy this first issue of our quarterly research
newsletter. I welcome your input and your support. And stay tuned. You’ll be
able to track our progress and observe how Aurora becomes an ever-better
place in which to conduct research.
Sincerely,

Randall Lambrecht, Ph.D. Vice President of Research and Academic
Relations Aurora Health Care
