Arkansas Research in Medicine

New Treatments through Research
College of Medicine faculty members explore many different body and cellular processes in their search for answers to challenging basic science and health related questions. Their research is fascinating and often times quite complex. To share faculty members' research interests and passions with everyone, we have captured them on video before a non-science "studio audience" of co-workers. Some have been taped in their laboratories.

Enjoy meeting these brilliant men and women as they describe (in plain English) what drives them in their chosen research fields. Hit the u button to watch a video.
