Highlights:
The Northwestern University Clinical and Translational Sciences Institute (NUCATS) is dedicated to facilitating, supporting, and promoting research that results in better medical treatments and improved health care. NUCATS is the physical home and central hub for translational research across the Northwestern University enterprise. The institute is composed of five centers, and participation spans several geographic locations, including the involvement of all four NU-affiliated hospitals and six NU schools located on two campuses: the Feinberg School of Medicine; the Kellogg School of Management; the McCormick School of Engineering and Applied Science; the School of Communication; the School of Education and Social Policy; and the Weinberg College of Arts and Sciences. Basic scientists, medical practitioners, community-based medical practitioners, and community-based organizations are working together with leaders in the fields of communications, education, business, and public health to eliminate barriers to innovation.
