RESEARCH
Expand high-impact basic translation programs
The novel technologies that Institute research teams create have the potential to radically change the way we treat patients, diagnose disease in its earliest stages, noninvasively monitor patient health and developing new diagnostic methods and therapies. With its thriving medical devices industry, Orange County relies on the Institute’s skilled researchers and clinicians, who integrate basic research, clinical translation and commercialization. Novel technologies developed at the Institute strengthen UCI’s impact on the local healthcare economy, while accelerating scientific advances across the globe.
Focused on our Pillars of Excellence, we will develop, test and commercialize innovative laser, optical and related technologies to solve complex medical problems. These technologies will simultaneously advance basic research, while impacting human health.
