Advanced Diagnostics and Therapeutics
The University of Notre Dame selected the Advanced Diagnostics and Therapeutics (AD&T) Initiative as a beneficiary of internal research funding through the Strategic Academic Planning Committee Grant (SAPC). The vision of the initiative is to design micro-sensing devices capable of supporting personalized health care and environmental monitoring. At Notre Dame, teams of researches from disciplines spanning all of science and engineering are joining forces to create integrated diagnostic and therapeutic systems that are pushing the boundaries of science and technology to address some of society’s most pressing needs. The capacity to monitor an individual’s immediate environment and biomedical status with far-reaching implications for the quality of life is an example of what might be accomplished through the technology platforms developed at Notre Dame.

Genomics, Disease Ecology, Global Health
Global health research at the University of Notre Dame is currently well funded in the core area of biomedical science as applied to tropical infectious diseases, with most global health biomedical research organized under the umbrella of the Center for Global Health & Infectious Diseases (CGHID). Most of the CGHID faculty are in one department, Biological Sciences. This initiative has two distinct but integrated goals. (1) One goal is to broaden the scope and nature of Global Health projects on campus that are currently centered in CGHID by developing strong interdisciplinary links with other academic departments and centers.

ND Institute for Advanced Study
The mission of the Notre Dame Institute for Advanced Study is to advance our understanding of issues that combine the descriptive and normative, what is and what ought to be, and that explore “ultimate questions” in an interdisciplinary way. Within this broader rubric of normative and integrative research, we invite a wide range of studies that explore the modernities, traditions, and sciences that inform our contemporary world.

Integrated Imaging Facility
The Notre Dame Integrated Imaging Facility (NDIIF) is a state-of-the-art research core that will consolidate the imaging capacity currently dispersed around campus and augment it with powerful new imaging modalities. A related goal is to create an interactive network of research groups, connected by their interest in imaging technology, and allow them to cross-fertilize ideas and form interdisciplinary collaborations.

Center for Nano Science and Technology
Building on a distinguished track record, Notre Dame’s Center for Nano Science and Technology is focused on furthering the University’s nanoelectronics research in four distinct areas, referred to as the “pillars” of the Center:
- Energy harvesting technologies
- New materials and nanostructures
- Nano-bio electronics
- Physical limits to computation
