Two USF Health Morsani College of Medicine<\/a> departments now rank among the Top 10 nationally for NIH funding, with nine programs
\n among the Top 50 in the latest Blue Ridge Institute for Medical Research<\/a> rankings, up from seven last year.<\/p>\n

The Morsani College of Medicine Department of Otolaryngology\u2013Head and Neck Surgery
\n placed No. 6 overall and No. 2 among public universities, while the Department of Molecular Pharmacology & Physiology<\/a> ranked No. 10.<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s results reflect notable gains across both basic science and clinical research,
\n with four departments newly entering the Top 50: Molecular Medicine (Biochemistry),
\n Orthopaedics, Otolaryngology and Surgery.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u201cThese results reflect the depth and strength of our research enterprise and the
\n remarkable work of our faculty across disciplines,\u201d said Charles J. Lockwood, MD, MHCM<\/a>, executive vice president of USF Health and dean of the Morsani College of Medicine.
\n \u201cOur exceptional scientists are advancing cutting-edge research discoveries, teaching
\n the next generation of scientists, and ultimately developing new treatments to improve
\n care for patients throughout our state and nation.\u201d<\/p>\n

USF Health leaders point to sustained investment in faculty recruitment and research
\n infrastructure, collaborative science and strategic partnerships as key drivers of
\n the college\u2019s continued research expansion.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u201cThese rankings speak to the quality and competitiveness of our research programs,\u201d
\n said Matt Anderson, PhD<\/a>, associate vice president for research administration at USF Health. \u201cOur investigators
\n are tackling complex health challenges across a wide range of disciplines, translating
\n into meaningful advances in human health.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n News & World Report as the top-ranked medical school in Florida<\/a> and one of only 16 medical schools nationally to receive a Tier 1 ranking, the highest
\n designation awarded. It also reflects the University of South Florida\u2019s standing as
\n a leading national research institution, marked by record research funding<\/a> and membership in the Association of American Universities<\/a>.<\/p>\n
