The new Innovation and Research Park is key to connecting and solidifying the region's already-powerful bioscience and healthcare community. Not only will the IRP further advance our game-changing research and its ability to be translated into therapeutics and diagnostics, this thriving bioscience community will bring significant economic development to Lake County. In other words, the lives of people in Lake County and around the country and world will be transformed in multiple ways.

We invite you to be an integral part of what’s next — for Lake County, Rosalind Franklin University and, most importantly, the future of health care.
