RESEARCH SERVICES
From the first spark of an idea to the final data point, ITM has got your back. We give investigators the tools, facilities, and expertise to move faster, think bigger, and do more good. Gain access to a metabolic research kitchen, cutting-edge imaging, expert statisticians, data science support, and survey design help, all in one place and without the barriers that usually slow research down.
BIONUTRITION RESEARCH CORE
ITM’s bionutrition research services give investigators access to a full metabolic research kitchen and a suite of
gold-standard assessment tools, from DEXA scanning and indirect calorimetry to bioimpedance analysis and
whole room calorimetry, alongside expert support for diet counseling and nutrition education. Whether you're
designing a feeding study, measuring energy expenditure, or assessing body composition, the Bionutrition
Core of the Clinical Research Center has the facilities and expertise to make it happen.
INFORMATICS & DATA SCIENCE
The ITM connects investigators across partner institutions to the informatics infrastructure and data science
expertise needed to design stronger studies, ask better questions, and move from idea to insight faster.
Whether you need to explore clinical data across multiple health systems, get statistical guidance, build and
deploy a survey, or capture and manage research data, these resources are here to support you at any stage
of your project, and without the barriers that typically slow research down.
BIOSTATISTICS
The Biostatistics Laboratory is a collaborative team of statisticians, data scientists, and research professionals
who support investigators across the University with study design, grant development, data analysis, and
manuscript preparation. ITM researchers at every stage of a project can partner with the Biostatistics
Laboratory for short-term consultation on statistical methods, analytic planning, and related research
questions.
CYCLOTRON
The University of Chicago Cyclotron Facility is a state-of-the-art radiochemistry and radiopharmaceutical
production facility supporting pre-clinical and clinical imaging research. Its IBA Cyclone® 18 cyclotron produces
a range of short-lived isotopes and radioactive compounds — including FDA-approved investigational agents
for human use — and operates alongside the integrated Small Animal Imaging Research Resource (iSAIRR)
to offer investigators access to specialized infrastructure that is rare outside of major academic medical
centers.
