Overview of Research Strengths

Research at Rosalind Franklin University of Medicine and Science encompasses a wide range of areas from the level of the atom to the level of the human brain. Research strengths at RFUMS include:

• Neurosciences
• Molecular Cellular Processes
• Structural Biology / Biochemistry

To complement these areas, the University has a number of core research facilities to support our research programs. These support facilities include the Rosalind Franklin Structural Biology Laboratories, a confocal center, a live cell imaging center, and other facilities to support research with model systems.
