The aim of the Institute of Experimental Genetics (IEG) is to further the basic understanding of mechanisms that underlie the etiology of human diseases. Metabolic diseases with focus on diabetes and bone/cartilage disorders are the new key areas of research. Experimental set-ups are centered on the mouse as pre-clinical model organism. Besides studying the effects of genotypes, the institute has recently started to identify and characterize environmental factors and the mechanisms by which these act on the etiology of diseases. The systemic phenotyping of models and the exploration of envirotypes as a source of important disease factors are integral to the German Mouse Clinic (GMC).

The main aim of Epidemiology at the Helmholtz Zentrum Munchen is to examine the role of environmental factors and genetic predisposition on human health by the use of epidemiological methods. Research is conducted in cooperation with the Institute of Medical Information Processing, Biometrics and Epidemiology at Ludwig Maximilians University of Munich. The institute is organized in five research units: * Environmental Epidemiology * Epidemiology of Air Pollution Health Effects * Epidemiology of Chronic Diseases * Genetic Epidemiology * Epidemiology Biological Samples Genomics The institute runs several cohort studies with adult, school children and new-born study populations, as well as time series analyses, case control studies and family studies. Another goal is to provide infrastructure for epidemiological research. As a resource for future studies a collection of serum, plasma, DNA and an archive of EBV immortalized B-Lymphocytes is being established. International co-operation and qualification of our members is highly emphasized in this institute, there are co-operations with about 70 scientific institutes and universities in Germany and abroad. We would like to point to the co-operation with the Harvard School of Public Health (MPH-training of institute members, exchange of scientists) and with the US-Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in Chapel Hill. Two thirds of the personnel is financed through external grants, which are provided by state ministries, federal institutions, the European Union and grant giving institutions in the United States of America.

The namesake of A.T. Still University, Andrew Taylor Still, M.D., D.O., founded the Kirksville College of Osteopathic Medicine in 1892. KCOM was the first institution of osteopathic education in the world and continues to provide leadership for comprehensive medical education, research, and healthcare. Consistent with the college''s mission, KCOM is consistently ranked in U.S. News & World Report as one of the best medical schools in the country for rural and family medicine training. KCOM graduates represent a diverse group of osteopathic physicians practicing in every state and several other countries. They span all medical specialties and sub-specialties and comprise approximately a quarter of all practicing osteopathic physicians.

As the largest collaborative of its kind, the Harvard Stem Cell Institute is a truly unique scientific enterprise -- a gathering place for a whole community of scientists and clinical experts in stem cell science seeking to bring new treatments to the clinic, and new life to patients with a wide range of chronic illnesses. The Harvard community, consisting of the university, medical school and 11 teaching hospitals and research institutions, already represents one of the largest concentrations of biomedical researchers in the world. But stem cell research is a challenge that involves areas of expertise not encompassed in any one discipline, department or school. Most importantly, basic biology must interface with medical expertise if the promise of this field is to be fully realized. The Harvard Stem Cell Institute (HSCI) was founded in 2004 to draw Harvard''s resources together by establishing a cooperative community of scientists and practitioners, by developing new ways to fund and support research, and by promoting opportunities for open communication and education. Addressing the many societal issues, including legal, political and economic questions, raised by stem cell research requires an interdisciplinary approach, and HSCI draws in faculty not only from the biomedical sciences but also from Harvard''s professional schools, including Harvard Law School, the Harvard Kennedy School, the Harvard School of Public Health, the Harvard Business School and the Harvard Divinity School.
