Shirley Ryan AbilityLab
Shirley Ryan AbilityLab, formerly the Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago (RIC), is the global leader in physical medicine and rehabilitation for adults and children with the most severe, complex conditions — from traumatic brain and spinal cord injury to stroke, amputation and cancer-related impairment. Shirley Ryan AbilityLab expands and accelerates leadership in the field that began at RIC in 1953 — its care and research designated the “No. 1 Rehabilitation Hospital in America” by U.S. News & World Report every year since 1991. Upon opening in March 2017, the $550 million, 1.2-million-square-foot Shirley Ryan AbilityLab became the first-ever “translational” research hospital in which clinicians, scientists, innovators and technologists work together in the same space, surrounding patients, discovering new approaches and applying (or “translating”) research in real time. This unique model enables patients to have 24/7 access to the brightest minds, the latest research and the best opportunity for recovery. For more information, go to sralab.org.
Northwestern University
Northwestern University is committed to excellent teaching, innovative research and the personal and intellectual growth of its students in a diverse academic community. It has has well over one hundred associated research institutes and centers, and in 2021 has earned more than $893 million in annual sponsored research as Northwestern scholars, scientists and students fearlessly challenge assumptions to imagine what’s next. The Feinberg School of Medicine has a national reputation for excellence through its leading-edge scientific initiatives, premier clinical facilities and innovative curriculum. It has been recognized as one of the best medical schools in the nation, ranking 17th among research-oriented institutions, according to the 2022 U.S. News & World Report.
