At CU Denver, research is about changing lives, both locally and globally. It’s about the city around us inspiring lab work. It’s about using AI to help the city and state make traffic smoother and extend the life of bridges. It’s about developing biodegradable materials, printed right here on campus, that will help regrow forests devastated by fires and droughts.
Because at CU Denver our scholars and researchers are uniquely poised to answer the BIG questions that affect our life. As the state’s only public urban research university we are powering innovation, and we are committed to solving the big problems of today and tomorrow.
