UM-IHC merges the computational expertise, clinical expertise, biomedical innovation, health data and academic resources of the University of Maryland, College Park; the University of Maryland, Baltimore; and the University of Maryland Medical System to innovate health care delivery and support the Montgomery County life science community.

Institute of Human Virology (IHV)

The IHV is the first center in the United States - perhaps the world - to combine the disciplines of basic science, epidemiology and clinical research in a concerted effort to speed the discovery of diagnostics and therapeutics for a wide variety of chronic and deadly viral and immune disorders - most notably HIV, the cause of AIDS.

University of Maryland - Medicine Institute for Neuroscience Discovery (UM-MIND)

UM-MIND aims to accelerate translational research of the brain by facilitating interaction between basic and clinical scientists and enhancing collaborative research across the University of Maryland School of Medicine (UMSOM), the University of Maryland, Baltimore (UMB) and local and regional partners.

Kahlert Institute for Addiction Medicine

The Kahlert Institute for Addiction Medicine is dedicated to improving the lives of Marylanders living with and affected by addiction.
