Health Sciences researchers lead a wide range of innovative centers, labs, and other research initiatives. Click the links below to learn more about these:

Advanced Metrics Lab

Led by Dr. Trudy Mallinson, lab members collaborate to apply contemporary measurement methods, particularly Rasch Measurement to improve health outcomes and health care quality. Better measurement; better outcomes.

Biomedical Informatics Center

Led by Dr. Qing Zeng, the Center leverages biomedical information, including EHR, social media, and omics data, to predict and improve patient outcomes by developing and using cutting-edge computational technology.

The Frame-Corr Lab

Led by Dr. Leigh Frame and Dr. Patrick Corr, the Lab's research focuses on whole person well-being, nutrition, and metabolic health and is conducted in partnership with the GW Center for Integrative Medicine, the Office of Integrative Medicine and Health, the Resiliency & Well-being Center, and faculty across the Medical Enterprise

The Governor's Health Sciences Academy

A one-of-a-kind partnership between Alexandria City Public Schools (ACPS) and The George Washington University (GW) School of Medicine and Health Sciences (SMHS) to address a critical skills and workforce gap in health care and health sciences.

GW Learning Health Systems Lab (GWLHS)

In Learning Health Systems (LHS) evidence-based knowledge influences practice and practice-based evidence influences future research. The GW Learning Health Systems Lab aims to stimulate growth of LHSs through education, research, and collaboration.

Neuromuscular Control Lab

Led by Dr. Karen Goodman, the Neuromuscular Control Lab focuses on innovative methods to assess and improve movement control. We aim to determine afferent changes that occur due to age and neuromusculoskeletal conditions that affect movement.

The Physical Therapy Exercise Physiology Laboratory

The Physical Therapy Exercise Physiology Lab in the Doctor of Physical Therapy Program at the George Washington University conducts research aimed at understanding the mechanisms, manifestations, associated performance limitations, and reversal of physiological impairments.

Primary Care Research Training Program (P-CART)

This post-doctoral fellowship program is designed to develop researchers who are prepared to generate, test, and disseminate primary care-oriented interventions that aim to improve health and health equity.

The R.W. Turner Lab

The R.W. Turner Lab focuses on research related to the neurological and psychological health of adults with cognitive impairments. The Lab aims to provide caregivers with the best and most up-to-date information with which they can treat their clients.
