Body
Shirley Ryan AbilityLab is a global resource. Clinical trials and research studies are where we bring our integrated care to life. We’re committed to Advancing Ability and sharing what we’re doing and what we learn — with all who seek greater ability and practitioners the world over.
Our five Ability Labs are the first translational research environments in which clinicians, scientists, innovators, technologists and patients work together in the same space, 24/7, discovering new approaches and applying (or “translating”) research real time.
