Department BSD SUR - Research Services: Clinical Research

About the Department Since the founding of the Department in 1927, many scientists, including our very own Nobel Prize‑winning Charles B. Huggins, MD, have made important discoveries about diseases and treatment protocols that still serve as a basis for standard clinical practice today. Today, our scientists continue to embody the University of Chicago’s commitment to open, rigorous, and intense inquiry. Our laboratories tackle some of today’s most complex biomedical challenges, including research in immunotolerance, vaccine stabilization, and bioengineering. This ongoing work would not be possible without the cohesive effort of the faculty and staff. We are always looking for individuals who are willing to work in our dynamic and collaborative environment.
