ResearchThe Danbury Hospital's Research Institute heralds a new era of personalized medicine that holds great promise for the development of targeted therapies as we gain a deeper understanding of the genetic basis of disease. The Institute will enable us to stay on the forefront of the evolving world of molecular medicine and to deliver the benefits of this work to patients at the bedside.In 2013, Danbury Hospital's two year-old Biomedical Research Institute (BRI) continued to push the frontiers of medical science in ways that are meaningful both to the care of our patients and to medicine as a whole. Danbury Hospital has made significant inroads toward personalized cancer treatments tailored to a cancers specific genetic makeup-especially womens cancers. Reinforcing the Hospitals emerging leadership position in this arena, in September 2013, Danbury Hospital launched Connecticuts first Annual OB/GYN Residents Research Day symposium. The integration of research and medical education for obstetricians and gynecologists helps ensure they remain on the cutting edge of medicine.
