In the two years since he became interim director, Steve Boppart and the IHSI team have strengthened clinical partnerships, developed a program for mid-career faculty to achieve research success, coordinated the successful campus effort to become part of the national ARPA-H Investor Catalyst and Customer Experience hubs (connecting Illinois researchers to the larger national network of collaborators and institutions) and secured an award of up to $33M to revolutionize cancer surgery. Talk about making an impact!
