Description: RFU has many exciting initiatives in biomedical technology and commercialization with a goal of accelerating the discovery and development of new diagnostics, devices, and therapeutics to improve the quality of patient’s lives. We are located next door to the FHCC VA and Great Lakes NAVY medical centers and hospitals. We are aligned with MTEC as we are ready for collaboration across a large spectrum of disease states that affect the U.S. military and warfighters – MTEC’s mission.Research at RFU is organized around centers of excellence in discovery and translational science. There are nine such centers designed to nurture collaboration among scientists and clinicians, and facilitate relationships with potential industry partners. RFU’s new 100,000 square foot Innovation and Research Park opened in January 2020. This state-of-the-art facility is designed to accelerate clinically-relevant research advances across complementary fields, including brain function and repair, stress and affective disorders, neurodegenerative diseases, cancer and immunology, genetic diseases, and proteomics and therapeutics, lower extremity diseases, disorders, wound healing and will facilitate growth opportunities with industry, biotech firms and startups that are also housed in the research park.
