Research
Our researchers seek to create knowledge and advance the understanding of the life sciences and medicine and to apply this knowledge to enhance discovery and clinical outcomes.
Our faculty organize into 10 basic science and 14 clinical departments along with multiple Institutes and Centers. Co-located on a compact campus alongside world-renowned Physical Sciences, a new Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering, the Polsky Center for Entrepreneurship and Innovation, twenty minutes from our colleagues at the Argonne National Labs and Fermi Labs, together with our affiliate Marine Biology Laboratory, the Biological Science Division provides a unique opportunity for training and research at the cutting edge of science, engineering, and medicine.
