A five year grant has established the UPenn Prevention Research Center, one of only 26 in the country. The UPenn PRC will conduct public health research aimed at preventing chronic disease in the Southeastern Pennsylvania region.
The UPenn PRC is a catalyst for research in chronic disease prevention and a leader in advancing the science and practice of prevention research. Along with our ongoing studies in cancer prevention, cognitive health, and new strategies for weight loss, we’re researching adolescent and young adult survivors of childhood cancers, the economic impact of clinical trials, and a Penn-community partnership, the Philadelphia Health Leadership Institute. We invite you to learn more about these projects and our dedicated investigators and staff on this website.
