Research
Nursing science changes lives. And Loyola Nursing faculty are at the forefront of cutting-edge research that drives better health outcomes for individuals, communities, and populations.
From our home in Loyola’s Center for Translational Research and Education, we’re expanding and deepening our commitment to innovative research. We emphasize interprofessional collaboration, mentoring support for students and junior scientists, and a commitment to health equity. Our nurse scientists continue to receive national honors as our growing research program attracts recognition.
