UChicago is at the very heart of a “must-have” Chicago-wide research, innovation, venture, investment, talent, operations, and education ecosystem. In addition to research on campus, UChicago brings together the power of two US Department of Energy National Labs (Argonne National Laboratory and Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory) and the Marine Biological Laboratory, across 140 institutes and centers, into a truly powerful research and development enterprise of over 15,000 faculty and research staff.

Our world-class researchers generate new knowledge and solutions to significant societal challenges. Their long history of breakthroughs includes discovering the link between cancer and genetics, establishing revolutionary theories of economics, and developing tools to produce reliably excellent urban schooling. Most recently, their discoveries and technologies include developing life-saving cancer therapeutics, improving disease diagnostics, increasing quality of education and training, creating green tech energy solutions, while leveraging deep expertise in natural sciences, big data analytics, advanced materials, nanotechnology and more.
