MILESTONE
Driving discovery
Emory received $734 million in external research funding in fiscal year 2018, the most ever for the university. Funded research helps Emory attract top professors and students, create jobs, increase the number of clinical trials and advance start-up projects.

 

RESEARCH

COMMUNITY

"The Spirit Lives On: Art and the Mind," a new permanent exhibit at the Woodruff Health Sciences Center Library, features art and photography by people with dementia and their caregivers from the Emory community.

INSPIRATION
