The spectacular growth in people and infrastructure has been accompanied by the start of the program delivery including the course offering in molecular engineering, the launch of minor in Molecular Engineering and highly acclaimed IME First Thursday Distinguished Colloquium. 

“After successfully getting off the ground,” said Pritzker Director Matthew Tirrell, “IME is now at a point ready to deliver the impactful research and innovative education programs while continue to pursue top talents and extend our collaborations with other institutions as well as industries.”

The IME changed its name to Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering in 2019.
