Solving healthcare’s toughest challenges takes a team approach. At CU Anschutz, researchers and clinicians work together across our interconnected academic medical campus – accelerating discoveries from the laboratory through clinical trials and into new treatments that improve and save lives.

Illuminating the brain

CU Anschutz researchers became the first to receive FDA approval to use a groundbreaking technology known as Neuropixels – a probe that’s thinner than a strand of hair – during brain surgery to uncover how conditions such as Parkinson’s disease disrupt brain function.

Healing cartilage, restoring movement

CU Anschutz researchers are developing regenerative therapies that could help the body regrow damaged cartilage, reduce pain and restore joint function without surgery. By harnessing the body’s own cells to repair cartilage, the team aims to slow or even reverse osteoarthritis—offering new possibilities for millions of people living with joint disease.

Restoring vision

CU Anschutz researchers are driving new innovations in human eye transplantation and vision restoration. This pioneering research is bringing new hope to millions of people affected by blindness.
