Our second Hope Grant presentation on Monday September 27th was at the University of Chicago Medical Center. We gathered in the lobby of the university's new research building, a cutting-edge facility dedicated entirely to medical research that houses Dr. Cunningham's lab.

It is this proximity that allows research like Dr. Cunningham's to be translational -- that is, shortening the distance "from lab bench to patient bed" and allowing for work both clinical and laboratory work, which can represent great advantages in speeding the process to develop new therapies. This is the first time Hope on Wheels has made a grant to the University of Chicago medical...

Most students take far too long to realize that the most important part of their UChicago education is not the compulsory stuff like classes or homework, but time spent ...
