Research at Daemen

Teaching and community service are part of the heart that keeps Daemen College ticking – and another key component is research. 

Research is carried out here on a host of different fronts – spanning an innovative student/faculty think tank, to a high-profile wound therapy initiative that’s truly making a difference. General research projects that include an enormous diversity of interests are showcased annually in the college’s increasingly popular Academic Festival, held each spring. The entire campus stops what it’s doing, so that a light can shine all day on the diversity of special research projects in which the student body, and faculty and staff, are actively involved.

The Student-Faculty Interdisciplinary Think Tank falls under the general concepts of sustainable communities, civic engagement, and historical & cultural preservation – resulting in research projects that make a measurable difference in our community, whether close to home or half-way around the world.

Outstanding research progress is being accomplished through Daemen’s very special Center for Wound Healing Research, operating under a U.S. Department of Defense grant. Students and faculty work tirelessly to improve the lives of those who suffer from chronic wounds. Human subjects research is also a part of the research arm of Daemen, ranging from psychological experiments to hands-on physiological disorders, often involving our physical therapy, physician’s assistant, and nursing programs.

Teaching what our top-flight faculty knows is an everyday reality at Daemen. But research to find out what we need and want to know – for the future improvement of society and the individual – is also very much a part of the “daily routine” at Daemen College.
