Drexel is a world-class comprehensive research institution committed to use-inspired research with real-world applications, and the University's research activities result in more than $110 million in annual expenditures for sponsored projects.
The Office of Research at Drexel University is committed to facilitating these research efforts. Our achievements, however, are driven by faculty from all disciplines. Medical and health sciences research complements our traditional strengths in engineering, biotechnology, basic science, information science, and business, alongside innovative scholarship in media arts and design, the social sciences, education, and law.
Clear examples of the University's interdisciplinary approach to research can be seen in our efforts to meet emerging national imperatives to upgrade the transportation infrastructure, move alternative energy sources into the mainstream, and invent the means to improve medical care while reducing its costs. The University has also established major research initiatives in engineering cities, plasma medicine and biology, and neuroengineering to reveal the convergence of the underlying fundamental disciplines with applied science and engineering.
