Improving Health and Well-Being

Improving Health and Well-Being

We are influencing the critical factors that improve health care outcomes and wellness. Our researchers are focusing on sleep, a core determinant of health across all populations, and addressing the unique challenges and opportunities associated with an aging society. We recognize the health and wellness interconnection between people, animals, plants and our shared environment.

At the Center for Sleep, Circadian and Neuroscience Research, we are conducting cutting-edge human sleep and circadian rhythms research to advance our understanding of disease processes such as inflammation, cancer, heart disease, stroke, cognition and mental illness. Our One Health initiative integrates expertise in human, animal and environmental health to improve health outcomes, better respond to public health challenges, assure safe and healthy food and water, and protect global health security. As one of the Southwest’s leading academic medical centers, we support and promote investigative clinical research at the University of Arizona and Banner – University Medical Center.
