BMC Research at a Glance

BMC's research program is growing, placing us second in National Institutes of Health funding for U.S. essential hospitals.

160+ open clinical trials

BMC stands at the forefront with its number of open clinical trials spanning across disciplines.

55% BIPOC Participants

My wish for the future of health care is that everyone in the country has access to services that address health needs holistically. BMC’s research is working to understand the basis of disease, uncover and tackle disparities, and develop accessible innovations for all."
