What is the ITM?
Which institutions make up the ITM?
The ITM is a team-up of five Chicago-area universities and health systems, all working to speed research
breakthroughs from the lab into real lives. With nearly
$70 million in NIH funding, we’re helping make Chicago
a national hub for translational medicine.
Meet the squad:
- University of Chicago,: an urban research university asking big questions since 1890.
- Rush: an academic health system with nationally recognized care, education, and research.
- Loyola University Chicago: one of the nation’s largest Jesuit, Catholic universities, founded in 1870.
- Illinois Institute of Technology: a private, technology-focused research university right in Chicago
- Endeavor Health: a Chicagoland-based integrated health system helping our communities be their best.
Five partners, one mission – better health for all.
