IGSB bridges two extraordinary research communities; The University of Chicago and Argonne National Laboratories.

Our research focuses on approaches to discover new diagnostic and therapeutic targets and strategies for complex human diseases.

Working with DOE scientists we are also applying genomics and systems biology approaches to environmental and energy production problems.
