Our Research

Our research ranges from the study of biomolecular structures at atomic-level resolution to the study of disease patterns in human populations. It reaches from linear DNA sequences to the complex nature of human behavior. Regardless of where our Investigators lie on this spectrum, their motivations are the same—to improve human health. We invite you to learn about the people who are driven to make a difference through their research efforts. Read about the areas of scientific excellence in the Intramural Research Program (IRP) that include hundreds of Investigators and span multiple National Institutes of Health Institutes and Centers. Read about our extraordinary record of transferring discoveries into the private sector, where they are developed for the public good.
