No discussion on Chicago based research institutions is complete without including Argonne and Fermi labs. These facilities LEAD research in multiple disciplines. Also peripheral research academia/commercial include Rush University, Toyota Technical Institute and of course the entire bio-pharma hub of Lake county.
