We firmly believe that productive research programs enrich clinical practice as well as enhance our educational goals. Our faculty members, including several designated surgeon-scientists, are engaged in a wide range of innovative research. We are especially dedicated to multidisciplinary research, and the proximity of the Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago to the Feinberg campus provides the opportunity for enhanced collaboration with our medical school colleagues.
