The goal of our research is to improve prevention, detection, and treatment of these diseases. Our mission is to extend the boundaries of human health through research, technology transfer, and education of our scientific, clinical, business and public communities.

LIMR occupies laboratories located on the campus of the Lankenau Hospital, just west of the city of Philadelphia. LIMR is part of Main Line Health, one of the major health care providers in the metropolitan Philadelphia area.
