Highlights:
The Clinical and Translational Science Center (CTSC) – comprising public/private institutions on the Upper East Side of Manhattan – is a unique and diverse biomedical complex, providing investigators with state-of-the-art resources for conducting clinical/translational research. Weill Cornell Medical College of Cornell University, the lead institution, serves as conduit through which technological resources and educational programs are efficiently shared and managed. Neighboring institutions contribute significantly to the CTSC. Hospital for Special Surgery, a leader in investigating musculoskeletal and autoimmune diseases, is one of two medical institutions designated by NIH as a Core Center for Skeletal Integrity. Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center is a cancer center where state-of-the-art basic science research flourishes side-by-side with clinical investigation and treatment at Memorial Hospital. Cornell University Cooperative Extension, NYC, engaged in research addressing the needs of a changing New York for over fifty years, will be the linchpin for community outreach. Hunter College Gene Center’s Research Center for Minority Institutions recruits and nurtures minority talent and has established an effective electronic network with minority scientists nationwide. Hunter College School of Nursing, training nurses from a diverse urban population, will participate in community outreach and education in underserved areas.
