Obesity and fructose, homelessness and camp sweeps, methamphetamine and public health round out list
In 2023, top health scientists at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus produced life-changing discoveries that buoyed understanding of some of the most complex questions in medicine today.
From what drives obesity and cognitive decline with aging, to how homeless and methamphetamine policies affect public health, campus researchers spend their lives seeking the answers to the questions that matter.
Along with sharing their world-class expertise on everything from relationship health to the adverse effects of substance use disorders, the reach of the researchers and educators on the region's top academic medical campus grows broader every day.
