Research is central to Stanford Emergency Medicine’s mission to transform acute care. Our investigators work across disciplines to address the challenges that begin in the emergency department—from earlier diagnosis and more personalized treatment to improving access, care delivery, and outcomes across diverse populations.

Our location within Stanford University and Silicon Valley creates an exceptional environment for collaboration across medicine, engineering, data science, technology, and the life sciences. Supported by dedicated research infrastructure and partnerships across academia, healthcare, industry, and communities, our faculty and trainees pursue research from discovery through real-world implementation.

Emergency medicine provides a unique vantage point for this work. We care for patients across the spectrum of illness, injury, age, and circumstance, creating opportunities to develop and test solutions where they can have immediate impact.

By bringing together clinical expertise, data, technology, and collaborators from across disciplines, we aim to accelerate discoveries that improve emergency care at Stanford and far beyond.
