• Home of the START Lab, the SSON Precision Smart Technologies and Applications for Rapid Translation Lab. A digital lab that provides our researchers clinical information about the potential health benefits of wearable consumer-grade technologies so the devices can be quickly adapted for use in clinical research.

Student Engagement

• Evidence-based learning is proven more effective when students can engage with faculty, learn and test all in a comprehensive program.
• Enhanced technology improves the experience for students in our hybrid graduate programs.
• Student lounge and common area offer opportunities for group study and collaboration.
