Dear Friends and Colleagues,
As Vice Chancellor for Research at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus, I have the privilege of getting a front row seat to all the incredible biomedical research taking place across our campus. In this year’s Research Annual Report, I’m proud to share a few of our team’s biggest recent accomplishments and findings.
Over the past year, our researchers have broken new ground and advanced scientific progress in monumental ways. From basic science to population level research and everything in-between, CU Anschutz is rapidly advancing new discoveries from the laboratory to the clinic to the world at large.
I hope you enjoy reading more about our team’s scientific contributions and how researchers at CU Anschutz are making a dramatic impact on human health and well-being worldwide.

The AB Nexus program was established in 2020 to encourage and expand multidisciplinary research collaborations between the University of Colorado Anschutz and Boulder campuses. Within three years, the program has catalyzed a new culture of intercampus research, while advancing novel investigations to improve human health. Learn more about some of the interdisciplinary teams that are leveraging the support of AB Nexus to take their research to the next level.
