PVLSI's mission is to improve human health by developing creative new approaches for the diagnosis and treatment of disease. To achieve this, we:

• Integrate the academic and scientific resources of the University of Massachusetts Amherst with the clinical expertise of the Baystate Medical Center.
• Create teams of life scientists, physicians, and physical scientists to focus on clinical disorders.
• Collaborate with the private sector to speed the application of ideas and new technologies to help diagnose and treat patients.
