Research at MCW: Knowledge Changing Life
Our Mission
MCW Research by the Numbers
Our Core Research Focuses
Basic Science Research
A single idea, if properly pursued, is all it takes to save a life. MCW scientists are discovery-drivers, working to uncover more innovative and cutting-edge treatments with every study they conduct.
MCW Departments
Translational Research
It’s one thing to observe something new, but quite another to turn it into improved treatments that positively impact health. Translational scientists do exactly that—translate science and research into real change.
Clinical and Translational Research
Research Resources
The Office of Research hosts this resource site to assist investigators and their teams with onboarding, funding, and shared resources.

MCW launches Project Project gallery exhibit in partnership with Cardinal Stritch University
MCW is excited to partner with Cardinal Stritch University to engage faculty, staff, learners and the community in the creative interpretation of scientific research through a physical art gallery installation and opening event.
The exhibit will be held Friday, February 10 to April 28, 2023, at the Northwestern Mutual Art Gallery at Cardinal Stritch University. The Project Wonder exhibit will include 10 art pieces and two videos and will be free and open to the public. More information about the Gallery, including dates, times and directions, can be found on their website.
MCW Researchers Changing Lives
We Unlock Mysteries
Dr. Krucoff joined MCW as a highly recruited physician-scientist conducting groundbreaking research and providing cutting-edge treatment for brain tumors. His research focuses on the development of techniques that modulate brain function through electrical stimulation. He hopes this work will expand on current surgical limitations and help make the removal of tumors safer and more complete for his patients.
We Improve Outcomes
Dr. Joseph Zenga, a head and neck surgical oncologist and assistant professor at MCW, is leveraging the power of research to help improve cancer outcomes for his patients. His team's research on an innovative pilot treatment, known as hypofractionated radiation, has the potential to reduce the length of radiation by weeks.
We Battle Cancer
For 20 years, Michele Battle, PhD, a development biologist and associate professor in the Department of Cell Biology, Neurobiology and Anatomy at MCW, has worked to decipher the code on how cells develop and become specialized for different functions and why cells don't function properly in disease. The Battle Lab is currently focused on seeking this knowledge to better understand how to heal cancer cells.
