The Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI) is known worldwide for its support of high calibre research in the basic biomedical sciences. At present, 332 men and women at 72 institutions are HHMI investigators, putting them in the ranks of the best and the brightest (and certainly the most generously supported) researchers in America. But the Howard Hughes Medical Institute's portfolio goes well beyond its core program as a medical research organization. Purnell W. Choppin, MD, discussed the breadth of Hughes' activities during a recent interview in his office at the Institute's main campus in Chevy Chase, Maryland, a few blocks away from the National Institutes of Health. Among other things, Choppin talked about US medical schools, clinical research, postgraduate education, and HHMI support of research abroad.
霍华德·休斯医学研究所（HHMI）以支持基础生物医学领域的高水平研究而闻名于世。目前，72家机构的332名男女成为了HHMI研究员，这使他们跻身美国最优秀、最杰出（当然也是获得资助最丰厚）的研究人员行列。但霍华德·休斯医学研究所的业务范围远远超出了其作为医学研究机构的核心项目。医学博士珀内尔·W·乔平在位于马里兰州雪佛兰蔡斯研究所主校区办公室接受的一次近期采访中，谈到了休斯活动的广度，该校区距离美国国立卫生研究院仅几个街区。乔平还谈到了美国医学院、临床研究、研究生教育以及HHMI对国外研究的支持等内容。
