Research Programs

The Julius Center can be characterized as a matrix organization with four departments and four research programs, as well as four special research themes and affiliations.

Our researchers focus on three disease domains that have a large impact on humanity and society: cancer, cardiovascular health and infectious diseases. The fourth research program is methodology, the science that studies technological innovations in medicine.
