While our state-of-the-art facilities are meticulously designed, we strive to continuously enhance every aspect of our research enterprise by taking advantage of all opportunities available. This includes broadening our scope and diversity of research areas, investing in world-class research infrastructure, fostering new partnerships, and attracting and retaining top scientists and scholars. All of this is accomplished while maintaining the highest standards of excellence in ethics and compliance.

The insights and solutions we deliver are complex and are most often found through collaboration. The scale and culture at Larner provide the ideal environment to promote innovative interdisciplinary research­—a hallmark of our enterprise and one key to our success.
