Department The College of Medicine at Florida State University has embarked on a strategic effort to increase basic and translational research related to human health.

The mission of the College of Medicine is to prepare compassionate physicians who discover and advance knowledge and deliver the highest quality patient-centered medicine to communities with the greatest need. The Research and Discovery mission of the College of Medicine is facilitated by more than 150,000 sq. ft. of state-of-the-art laboratory space and core labs in proteomics, genomics, advanced confocal, super-resolution and multiphoton microscopy, flow cytometry, animal care, and cell culture. Research in the Department of Biomedical Sciences covers a broad spectrum of disciplines, offering a rich, diverse, and collegial environment. The translation science core laboratory is equipped with state-of-the-art mass spectrometry and deep sequencing equipment including the NovaSeq latest-generation DNA sequencer (http://med.fsu.edu/?page=translationalLab.home). A new 3T MRI system (Siemens MAGNETOM Prisma) is housed in a new MR facility at the College of Medicine. Equipment to investigate heart function, including a rodent echocardiography (Vevo 2100, VisualSonics) is available to the applicant. Current research in the department is broadly focused on understanding the molecular bases of human diseases.

Our faculty’s research expertise expands into diverse areas including Neuroscience, Genetics and genomics, Molecular structure and function, Cardiovascular and infectious diseases, Cell biology and development, and Stem cell and cancer biology. Collaborative projects are encouraged. The faculty are exploring the complex biological mechanisms at multiple levels from the gene to the systems level that contribute to the potential of human health, the influence of the environment, and how defects in these biological processes cause human health disorders. The Department hosts a Graduate program (http://med.fsu.edu/?page=phdAdmissions.home), and many faculty participate in the FSU Center for Genomics and Personalized Medicine (http://genomics.fsu.edu/). Other resources available include structural and functional MR imaging facilities at the FSU National High Magnetic Field Laboratory (http://magnet.fsu.edu/), exceptional animal imaging facilities, and expertise at FSU, and a statewide, collaborative Clinical Research Network (http://med.fsu.edu/research/crn/).Equal Employment Opportunity An Equal Opportunity/Access/Affirmative Action/Pro Disabled & Veteran Employer.
