Our mission is to empower the convergence of research disciplines to address challenges in human health and disease. MESH was formed to create a connective tissue across disciplines to combine USC’s strengths to accelerate the pace of groundbreaking discoveries and their translation into revolutionary therapies. MESH works with USC researchers, physicians, and students to create new conceptual and translational innovations, build transdisciplinary teams, collaborate with industry, and develop curriculum to train the next generation of bioscience innovators. MESH Academy is a program jointly supported by the Dean of the Keck School of Medicine of USC and the USC Office of the Provost.
