One way the Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering engages the community in our research is by participating in numerous public events in which we delve into the emerging field of molecular engineering with the public and inspire the exploration of STEM careers.
Look for Pritzker Molecular Engineering presenters, volunteers, and graduate student ambassadors at these events in the Chicago area.
