Fields of Research

At Sanford Research, we’re pursuing cures and improving treatments for diseases that affect our families and communities.

We split this work into five groups.

We work to improve the health of unique communities through research and education.

We study better ways to diagnose cancer, find its causes and use the immune system among novel treatments.

We study how the environment affects human health, disease and injury from conception to adulthood.

We study the genetic origins of disease and work for more personalized medicine and treatments.

We’re uncovering what causes rare and pediatric disorders to help develop better therapies.
