Leveraging and integrating the University of Chicago’s considerable institutional strength in population science with research spanning diverse fields such as genetic medicine, cancer epidemiology, clinical trials, microbiome, and epigenomics, the Institute will have the common goal of improving human health outcomes. The unit is currently working on multiple COVID-19 vaccine clinical trials to achieve this end.
