Meta-science is the "science of science", that is, the scientific study of how research is performed and how it can be improved to be made more reproducible. Our faculty research and develop methodological approaches to ensuring scientific studies are able to be replicated or reproduced for scientific verification.

Biomarkup
A culture of advocacy and promotion for aggressive testing may arise when a biomarker or its sequelae yield financial benefit to drug and device manufacturers, procedure-based specialties, hospitals, laboratory testing services, or is increasingly requested by patients. Economic pressures, which may not be apparent to doctors or patients, can boost the use of biomarkers, a phenomenon we call “biomarkup”.
