Hows the Science/Medical programs at U of Chicago?

[idad]

<p>Jules and Gwen Knapp Center for Biomedical Discovery</p>

<p>

A new 10-story research building will join the recently completed Center for Integrated Science on Drexel Avenue to bring all the major biomedical research into close proximity.</p>

<p>The Center for Integrated Science, under construction since 2001 and completed in 2005, houses the Institute for Biophysical Dynamics, the Howard Hughes Medical Institute, the Ben May Institute for Cancer Research, the James Franck Institute, the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, and the Department of Chemistry.</p>

<p>The new Center for Biomedical Discovery, to be completed by winter 2007 (late, opening in 2008), is slated to house research groups from the Department of Medicine, the Department of Pediatrics, and the University of Chicago Cancer Research Center.

<p>Also:

The University of Chicagos Biological Sciences Collegiate Division (BSCD) has developed innovative and exciting curricular initiatives in undergraduate science education and expanded undergraduate research opportunities. Approximately 80% to 90% of all biology majors engage in some form of research activity. These successful programs provide a firm foundation for the undergraduate research experience. The Physical and Chemical Biology Training Program (PCBio) and the Beckman Scholars Program in Molecular Sciences are recent additions the BSCD research opportunities. You may apply for more than one program.
