The Institute for Translational Medicine’s (ITM) founding director Julian Solway, MD, Emeritus Professor of Medicine, has served as co-director of the Berggren Center for Quantum Biology and Medicine at UChicago for a year now. The initiative was launched last year to marry quantum technology with biology in order to transform the future of medicine.

“My work at the ITM was all about taking new knowledge and helping to turn it into improved health. So, it’s an extension of work that I was already doing,” Solway said. “I’m excited about quantum technology, and I was thinking about how I would have more time after I became an emeritus professor, no longer seeing patients and closing my own laboratory. It was a natural next step.”
