Research

The University of Notre Dame is the preeminent research university with a distinctive Catholic character. We seek the truth for its own sake, as well as to benefit the common good. Our commitment to research excellence guides us toward developing novel solutions to today’s most pressing scientific problems.

While we have a rich history of research excellence, it doesn’t live in the past. Today, we conduct collaborative, interdisciplinary research into subjects like global health, disease transmission and control, rare and neglected diseases, adult stem cells, big data analysis, artificial intelligence, and much more.
