Elmezzi Graduate School of Molecular Medicine

The Elmezzi Graduate School of Molecular Medicine is an integral part of the Feinstein Institutes for Medical Research, with an emphasis on translational biomedical research that can move discoveries quickly from laboratory work bench to patient bedside. It confers a PhD in molecular medicine.[1] This graduate school provides the grounding for the Department of Molecular Medicine[2] for Hofstra Northwell School of Medicine. It is a registered non-profit organization.[3][4]

The course provides academic training to physicians to discover and understand the causes of human diseases and to translate this information into diagnostic and therapeutic solutions.

History

The Elmezzi Graduate School is part of the North Shore-LIJ Health System and a sister organization to the Feinstein Institutes for Medical Research in Manhasset, NY. It became part of the Health System and Feinstein Institutes in 2011 and was renamed from Picower Graduate School Of Molecular Medicine to the Elmezzi Graduate School of Molecular Medicine in 2008 due to a $15 million donation[5][6] to endow the graduate school from the Thomas and Jeanne Elmezzi Private Foundation.[7] Biomedical research in the North Shore-LIJ Health System has been vital within its two major academic medical centers - North Shore University Hospital and Long Island Jewish Medical Center since their establishment in the early 1950s. With continued growth, research through the system would become part of the Feinstein Institute for Medical Research. The Feinstein opened in 1999 to facilitate disease-oriented basic and clinical research.[8]

More than 125 investigators and clinical scientists are enrolled in the Institute, conducting research in autoimmunity,[9] rheumatology,[10] oncology,[11] immunology and inflammation,[12] genetics,[10] psychiatry, neurology,[13] surgery, and obstetrics/gynecology. The scientists of the Institute and the students of the graduate school collaborate with clinicians (physicians, dentists, medical students, fellows and residents) throughout the system to identify unanswered questions relating to diseases treated in the hospitals. These questions are developed into research to shed light on basic biological processes underlying disease.[14]

gollark: It has fortunes, deletion, dice, arbitrary code execution and reminders.
gollark: You should only add my bot, which has good features.
gollark: I mean that "AI" isn't very well-defined and is mostly just used to describe things which are still difficult/an active area of research.
gollark: In the old times™, even things like pathfinding were considered AI, I think. Also things like chess engines and primitive theorem provers.
gollark: It's been said that AI is just anything we can't do nicely yet, which seems accurate.
