History of the Chicago D-CFAR

The Chicago D-CFAR is a collaboration between,Rush University Medical Center, the University of Illinois at Chicago, and Cook County Health & Hospitals System. Our goal is to provide a collaborative environment for scientific and clinical advances in HIV/AIDS. These advances are then shared not only within the medical and scientific communities but also with the public at large. The Chicago D-CFAR seeks to bridge gaps in HIV/AIDS research, education, awareness, and services by engaging those with the most prestigious expertise and experience.
