Indy's Signature Campus
We are IU Indianapolis
Technology
Tackling the challenge of Microplastics
Cleaner waterways start with better science. Professor Mark Cheng is developing new ways to identify and study microplastics, giving decision-makers the evidence they need to protect communities across Indiana.
Healthcare
Building a healthier Indiana
Better health care starts with better access. IU Indianapolis researchers found that investing in primary and preventive care can improve health, lower costs, and strengthen communities across Indiana—giving policymakers and health leaders a roadmap for lasting change.
Bioscience
Advancing the fight against Alzheimer's
Alzheimer's affects millions of families, and new discoveries can't come soon enough. Researchers at IU Indianapolis are engineering miniature brain models that could accelerate the development of earlier detection methods and more effective treatments. Their work is accelerating discoveries that could lead to earlier detection, better therapies, and hope for millions of families affected by the disease.
Public Policy
Advocating for Hoosiers in need
Every week, Marion County residents facing housing instability gain access to legal support through IU Indianapolis. Law students advocate for families in need while building the skills to become tomorrow's public servants.
Healthcare
Reducing diabetes in our communities
Better health begins where people live, work, and play. Researchers at the Richard M. Fairbanks School of Public Health are partnering with local communities to reduce Type 2 diabetes by addressing the conditions that shape long-term health. The initiative aims to address underlying issues that contribute to higher rates of the disease, such as access to healthy food, physical activity infrastructure, and mental health services.
