Loyola University Chicago

Loyola University Chicago is a private Jesuit, Catholic university with doctoral programs and a growing research enterprise across multiple Chicago-area campuses. Its health sciences campus is adjacent to a major academic medical center, enabling access to clinicians, patient populations, and regulated environments for clinical and translational studies. A downtown campus embedded in the city’s business district connects faculty and students with Chicago’s corporate, startup, and civic ecosystems, supporting internships, sponsored research, and executive education. Research is supported by competitive federal funding from agencies such as the NIH and NSF, along with state, corporate, and foundation awards. A dedicated technology transfer office assists with IP protection, licensing, material transfer, and startup formation.
