View List of Investigators
LA BioMed’s clinicians and scientists are solving health care challenges today, and preparing to meet those of tomorrow. They are tackling diseases and health issues that affect individuals and communities at home and abroad.
Many of LA BioMed’s investigators are physicians who treat patients at Harbor-UCLA Medical Center, while others are full-time PhD level researchers. This combination is the essence of research teams that translate laboratory discoveries into new diagnostics, devices and therapies. Over the years, their discoveries have prevented blindness in newborns; enabled premature infants with fragile lungs to breathe; helped to fight antibiotic-resistant infections; improved standards for pediatric emergency care; enabled testing to identify carriers of inherited diseases; served as the paramedic model for emergency medical care that is the standard today; and identified exercise-based therapies for individuals with chronic lung disease (COPD).
