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.
