UC Irvine's pioneering research is fundamentally advancing medical care and our global connections are reducing human suffering worldwide.

UC Irvine believes our shared future is only as vibrant as our collective health and well being. That is why we are pioneering globally acclaimed research that will produce treatments and cures for diseases that have caused suffering and hardship for far too long.

We're home to one of the world’s premier eye research, teaching, development, and care centers.

We’re a world leader in stem cell research which can revolutionize how we treat the most ravaging diseases and injuries.

UC Irvine is now conducting the world’s first human trial of stem cell treatment. Stem cells may prove to be the greatest medical discovery ever known; one cell with the potential to treat every single human disease.

This kind of pioneering work happens because the university has created an academic community that attracts the best doctors and scientists. Medical innovation on campus has helped establish Southern California as one of the most advanced medical research communities in the world.

And that excellence extends beyond stem cells to new treatments for cancer, infectious disease, and blindness. Through our expertise in neurological medicine, disease prevention, and medical education we have an incredible opportunity to create a healthier future for the entire world.
