At Stony Brook Medicine, research and patient care go hand in hand. Our physicians, scientists and researchers are working to better understand and treat some of the most challenging health conditions, from cancer and tick-borne diseases to neurodegenerative conditions and more personalized approaches to care.

But research is about more than making new discoveries. It’s about finding better ways to prevent, diagnose and treat disease — and bringing those advances to patients.

Because our researchers and physicians work closely together, discoveries made in the laboratory can help shape the care we provide. This collaboration gives patients access to leading specialists, clinical trials and advanced treatments, along with the full range of care they need — from routine checkups and preventive care to complex conditions requiring specialized expertise.

We believe Long Islanders should have access to the latest advances in medicine without having to travel far from home. That’s why we’re committed to bringing innovative research and care to the communities we serve.
