The University of
Washington (UW), as one of the nation's preeminent
research universities, provides an unusually rich environment
for training in comparative medicine. As one indicator of
research activity, the National Science Foundation's latest
report ranked the UW first among public institutions in
the total federal support to colleges and universities.
The Warren G. Magnuson Health Sciences Center (HSC)
is an integral part of the UW and reflects the institution's
three-part mission to provide outstanding programs in research,
teaching, and public service. The Center is comprised of
the following professional schools: Dentistry, Medicine,
Nursing, Pharmacy, Public Health and Community Medicine,
and Social Work.
The School of Medicine is a regional school for
Washington, Wyoming, Alaska, Montana, and Idaho, and is
a nationally and internationally recognized leader in scientific
research, medical education, and patient care.
The Regional Primate Research Center, established in 1961, is
one of seven centers in the nation devoted to biomedical research in which
nonhuman primates play an important role. The Center is known particularly
for research in animal models of AIDS, neuroscience, developmental biology,
cardiovascular physiology, and biochemistry. The center operates an Infant
Primate Research Laboratory jointly with the Child Development and Mental
Retardation Center.
The Department of Comparative Medicine is one of ten basic science
departments in the School of Medicine. In pursuit of its mission, one of
the Department's goals is to promote an environment that will foster competitive
research, encourage collaboration with other University units, and provide
the intellectual and technological setting appropriate for state-of-the-art
training.
