Houston Methodist brings new scientific discoveries to patients as rapidly as possible through the full cycle of translation. Our interdisciplinary research teams identify promising treatments, tools and diagnostic discoveries early and accelerate them through the development process, positioning them to make the leap from idea to clinic. Our focus is on achieving both market adoption of these discoveries and compliance with safety, laws and regulations to give patients quicker access to safe and effective therapies. Research in outcomes, precision medicine and restorative medicine aims to help patients maintain their optimal physical and cognitive health by developing new technologies and health tools to preserve, regenerate and rejuvenate the tissues and movement that are impaired due to injury, disease or the normal aging process.
