Shirley Ryan AbilityLab is not just a new research hospital, it’s a new kind of research hospital, one that is revolutionizing the future of rehabilitation and creating a new category of medicine. It is designed explicitly for the practice of “translational medicine” — a new model for medical care in which research is applied directly (translated) during patient care.
We have the largest rehabilitation-focused research program in the country. At present, we have hundreds of clinical studies underway — many of which tie directly to our Multiple Scerlosis (MS) program. Our program offers a wide range of research opportunities for people with MS.
