Rosalind Franklin University of Medicine and Science (RFU) is a private graduate school in North Chicago, Illinois. It has more than 2,000 students in six schools: Chicago Medical School, College of Health Professions, College of Nursing, College of Pharmacy, Dr. William M. Scholl College of Podiatric Medicine, and School of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies. The university is named for famous DNA crystallographer Rosalind Franklin. Photo 51, an X-ray diffraction pattern of the B form of DNA, captured by Franklin in 1952, was pivotal in 20th-century history of biology. The image is depicted in the university's seal and logo.

RFU offers more than 30 graduate programs in health-related subjects, including PhD programs for medical and basic research.[1] Its facilities include the Innovation and Research Park,[2][3] which is designed to promote collaboration among academic and industry scientists, and Helix 51,[4] the first bioscience incubator in Lake County, Illinois.
