Biomedical Graduate Research Organization



	Biomedical Graduate Research Organization Home to more than 60 percent of Georgetown University's sponsored research funding, Georgetown's Biomedical Graduate Research Organization (BGRO) was created in 2005 to foster cutting-edge interdisciplinary collaboration and to enhance our basic science and translational research capacity, especially in the areas of neurosciences, child health and human development, cardiovascular-kidney diseases, infectious diseases and in collaborative work with researchers and clinicians from Georgetown's Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center.In addition to promoting this lifesaving research, our focus on educational and academic excellence in the biomedical sciences is helping to create the next generation of researchers in the United States and around the world.
