BSD ADM - Operations
About the Department
The Biological Sciences Division (BSD) is the largest operating unit of
the University of Chicago. It includes the Pritzker School of Medicine,
twenty-three academic departments, twelve interdisciplinary
degree-granting committees, and more than a dozen research centers and
institutes. Our mission is to discover and create new knowledge of
living systems, to preserve and communicate knowledge through education,
and to nurture and sustain a community of scholars. These scholars
pursue this mission through research, the education of basic scientists,
physicians, and others interested in living things, and through
enlightened and compassionate care of patients in a humane, academic
environment. We have a long and rich history of discovery. Our academic
departments have each developed and sustained outstanding programs of
research and training in a broad range of programs. These are further
enhanced by interdisciplinary committees, centers, and institutes.
Unique among our peers, our Pritzker School of Medicine and basic
biological science programs are housed in one division, allowing for
strong collaborations between basic science and clinical research.
Faculty, staff and students interact across programs and disciplines,
creating collaborative and innovative approaches to the study of complex
problems.
