Bench-to-bedside research and discovery

Obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease are three of the most significant health issues in the United States. Recognizing time is of the essence, researchers and medical professionals on the Florida Hospital campus are bringing medical discoveries from the laboratory immediately to the community through clinical trials.

With clinical services on the ground level, testing on the second level, and research at the third level, a unique relationship is developed in the application of "bench-to-bedside" research and discovery.

The Translational Research Institute for Metabolism & Diabetes (TRI) houses some of the most technologically advanced clinical and diagnostic equipment in the country, including state-of-the-art calorimetry chambers, a biorepository, 3T MRI scanner, DEXA scanner, and testing rooms.
