洛克菲勒大学

The Rockefeller University is a world-renowned center for research and graduate education in the biomedical sciences, chemistry and biophysics. The university's Ph.D. program offers rigorous training in the biomedical and physical sciences and close mentoring by faculty. Rockefeller also offers one of the nation's top M.D./Ph.D. programs with neighboring Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center and Weill Medical College of Cornell University. The graduate program is flexible and individualized depending on a student's needs, and provides full financial support, housing on the Upper East Side of Manhattan, and outstanding opportunities for intellectual growth. Founded by John D. Rockefeller in 1901 as the nation's first institute for medical research, the university has a laboratory-based structure that encourages interdisciplinary research. This innovative, collaborative approach has been an unparalleled success, contributing to 25 Nobel Prizes—including prizes to Professors Günter Blobel, 1999, Paul Greengard, 2000, Paul Nurse, 2001, Roderick MacKinnon, 2003, the late Ralph Steinman, 2011, and Michael Young in 2017.
