EXCEED THE SPACE PROVIDED.The Clinical Research Center of the Brigham and Women's Hospital (BWH) has as its major goal theapplication of basic research knowledge to better understand, diagnose, and treat human disease. To achievethis aim, interdisciplinary patient-oriented research is carried out by members of Departments at the BWH(Medicine, Surgery, Women's Health, Neonatology, Obstetrics and Gynecplogy, and Radiology). With theestablishment of the Ambulatory GCRC for Cancer Research, the diversity of our GCRC has increased. Usersof the GRCR also include scientists at other hospital institutions in the Harvard Medical Area (Harvard Schoolof Public Health, Joslin Diabetes Foundation, and Children's Hospital Medical Center). The presence of theIntensive Physiological Monitoring (IPM) Core provides a powerful resource for BWH and Harvard Medicalarea researchers to study complex physiology in a variety of disorders. The establishment of an Imaging Corebrings to GCRC investigators a powerful new tool to unravel the physiologic and pathophysiologicunderpinnings human of health and disease. Finally, a national focus has been on understanding the molecularand genetic basis of human disease so as to provide early diagnosis and to develop novel therapeutic regimens.To this end BWH GCRC investigators have broadened their research efforts to forge collaborative ties withother institutions and their GCRC's as well aswith basic and clinical researchers in both the national andinternational communities.
