Stanford University is a major research and teaching institution in the San Francisco Bay Area, located on the ancestral land of the Muwekma Ohlone Tribe. Its main campus hosts seven schools and a broad academic ecosystem that supports both graduate and undergraduate study, including 20 libraries, 21 living Nobel laureates, more than 650 student organizations, and 36 varsity athletic teams. The university emphasizes discovery, creativity, and innovation and seeks to contribute to a sustainable future while expanding the impact of research through collaborations with external partners. Each year, Stanford educates thousands of graduate and undergraduate students and offers substantial financial aid that enables admitted undergraduates to attend without incurring debt. The institution operates within the higher education sector and maintains a strong focus on research and education across disciplines, supported by interdisciplinary institutes and a prominent medical enterprise, Stanford Medicine. In recent developments, Stanford Medicine has entered into a research collaboration with Simcere Pharmaceutical Group to develop therapies for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.
