Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine will construct a new Biomedical Research Pavilion adjacent to the Robert H. Lurie Medical Research Center. The new research pavilion will provide opportunities for teams of biomedical engineers, life scientists, materials scientists, chemists, nanotechnology experts, computational biologists, and neuroscientists from Northwestern University, the Feinberg School of Medicine, Northwestern Memorial Hospital, the Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago, and Children's Memorial Hospital to collaborate side-by-side on research that will impact more than one disease. As our scientists cross traditional medical disciplines and work at the intersection of engineering, nanoscience, and genetics, they will cross-cut multiple diseases. These partnerships will maximize the potential for cures and new treatments for today's most serious medical problems.

Contact Jeff Nearhoof by e-mail or phone at 312.503.3088 to discuss opportunities to support the new research pavilion.
