Price Institute of Surgical Research
Advancing surgical research through innovative research and global collaboration since 1957.
About the Institute
Founded in 1957 by both John W. Price Jr., and his wife Barbara Thruston Atwood Price, the institute strives to enhance patient care through advances in surgical techniques and technology and through basic and clinical research.
Price believed in the promise of basic research as a surgeon and, later in his new career as a successful financier, used his position to establish a generous trust to attract the best and brightest surgical research fellows to the University of Louisville.

Mentoring Careers
Because we foster the careers of undergraduate, graduate, and medical school students, more than half of the summer undergraduate students whom we have mentored have gone on to medical school. As evidence, several of our recent students published "The Impact of Surgical Research on Career Success A Forty-Year Follow-up of Undergraduate Experiences" in Annals of Surgery, which is a survey of students who worked at the Price Institute.
We invite you to explore the many research opportunities offered at the Price Institute.
