University of Rochester Medical Center Research

As well as being a top institution at which to study medicine, the University of Rochester Medical Center has also been making significant strides in its research progress.  But this is not just theory; the research undertaken has been perhaps most importantly – affecting “lives of patients around the globe.”  The institute has a strong financial backing for this, of $232 million (which is growing) and has impacted “nearly every area of medicine imaginable.”  Most notably the university has been involved in developing three vaccines that are popular around the world, protecting people from ear infections, cervical cancer, meningitis and pneumonia.  They will reduce the need for intervention on all levels of medical care, whether in the emergency room, intensive care, or recovery.
