Introduction:
Biomedical Research Overview
USC’s biomedical research encompasses such diverse subjects as
cancer, bioengineering, regenerative medicine, cardiovascular
research, neuroscience, diabetes prevention, nutrition, physical
activity, obesity, geosocioeconomic health disparity issues,
geriatrics, HIV, biohealth preparedness and bioterrorism issues,
family and community violence, and adolescent pregnancy. A function
of both geography and demographics, USC’s biomedical research
explores a variety of human health-related focus areas to promote
