We seek to understand the molecular/genetic basis of diseases that disproportionately affect the people of Appalachian Ohio and that also are major world wide challenges. EBI investigators pursue internationally recognized research programs in:

• Growth Disorders
• Diabetes, obesity and related cardiovascular complications
• Autoimmune diseases, including Graves disease
• Inflammation
• Aging
• Infectious diseases
• Cancer

Through our increased understanding of these diseases, we develop diagnostics and therapeutics for health care.

The institute provides a rich interdisciplinary and entrepreneural environment in which to study diseases from multiple perspectives. Our faculty comes from three academic colleges -- Osteopathic Medicine, Arts, Sciences and Engineering. EBI's unique environment allows our investigators to establish a wide network of collaborators both within and outside the university community.
