Harrison
Department
of Surgical Research |
The research arm of the
Department of Surgery, referred to as the Harrison Department
of Surgical Research, was created in 1936 when the University
of Pennsylvania, Department of Surgery, received a large
sum from the Estate of George L. and Emily McMichael Harrison
to
|
|
| provide
funding for departmental laboratories and for much of the research
done in these laboratories. |
| |
| Most
of the Department's research takes place in approximately 19,500
square feet of research space, the majority of which (13,085)
is on the 3rd floor of the Edward J. Stemmler Hall. This space
is conveniently located adjacent
to the HUP operating room suite. In addition, a small amount
of research space is located on the 7th floor of the
Richards Building and in the hospital. Members of the Pediatric
and Plastic Divisions have research space at CHOP and several
surgical investigators have research space in the Institute
of Gene Therapy and at the VAMC. |
