University of Washington Research Programs at Harborview Medical Center
Welcome to the University of Washington Research Programs at Harborview Medical Center Campus. Harborview-based faculty obtain over $240 million in research and training funding per year, performing translational and basic research as well as clinical studies and treatment trials, epidemiology and health services research.
Lab-based research includes cell biology, neurosciences, vascular biology, inflammation, infectious diseases, lung biology and microbial pathogenesis. Research laboratories are located in the Harborview Research & Training (HRT) Building and the Ninth & Jefferson Building, floor 3 (3NJB). These buildings, operated through the joint efforts of the University of Washington School of Medicine and Harborview Medical Center, provide laboratory facilities and research offices for HMC-based faculty.
