Based on the above..the following is interesting.
Rockefeller University Community
Rockefeller University researchers achieved many of the last century’s seminal advances in the biomedical sciences, including:
Acclaimed scientists
In its history, Rockefeller has been associated with 23 Nobel laureates and 19 Lasker Award recipients. Five faculty members have been named MacArthur Fellows and 12 have garnered the National Medal of Science, the highest science award given by the United States. And, 33 Rockefeller faculty are elected members of the National Academy of Sciences.
Partnerships with other leading institutions
Rockefeller has close ties with neighboring Weill Medical College of Cornell University, New York-Presbyterian Hospital and Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center. Additional academic partnerships with the Courant Institute of New York University and Bard College provide students with a rich array of training opportunities. Rockefeller forges collaborations with biotech and pharmaceutical companies as needed to speed research findings into development to improve patient care.
Clinical research hospital
In 1910, Rockefeller scientists founded the nation’s first hospital devoted exclusively to experimental medicine. The Rockefeller University Hospital’s only patients are participants in clinical trials building on basic research findings from Rockefeller labs. This “allows the university to maintain an unbroken spectrum of research, from basic to clinical,” says Joshua Lederberg, Nobel laureate and Rockefeller president emeritus. Unburdened by constraints of standard patient care, the hospital is a vital component of Rockefeller’s commitment to accelerating basic research findings on their route from bench to bedside for the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of disease. Studies are under way on AIDS/ HIV, obesity, hepatitis C and addictive diseases.
More than science
Artistic and intellectual activity flourishes on Rockefeller’s campus. The verdant grounds, situated on Manhattan’s Upper East Side, boast a world-class art collection. The university regularly hosts events designed to explore the intuitive connection between science and the arts.Weekly and monthly recital series grace the university’s spectacular auditorium, and a variety of exhibits regularly take shape on campus —currently including sculpture on temporary exhibition from New York’s Museum of Modern Art.
University budget
Funding the research studies of The Rockefeller University’s scientists are the National Institutes of Health and other government agencies, Howard Hughes Medical Institute, private gifts and endowment income.
