In partnership with the Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering, the Pritzker School of Medicine/BSD MSTP program will recruit and train the next generation of MD-PhD physician scientists who will train in both medicine and quantum biology through the new Berggren Center for Quantum Biology and Medicine at the Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering established by a generous $21M gift from philanthropist Thea Berggren. “By drawing on UChicago Medicine’s strengths in biomedical research and clinical care, the center will help ensure quantum breakthroughs move from bench to bedside,” said Mark Anderson, Executive Vice President for Medical Affairs and dean of the UChicago Biological Sciences Division and the Pritzker School of Medicine. “Also, through innovative training programs, including a quantum-focused pathway for current and future physician-scientists, the Center begins to build a workforce that can continually look for new ways of diagnosing and treating disease.”
This generous donation from Thea Berggren, along with establishing the center, will support MD/PhD trainees doing dissertation research in Quantum Medicine!
