advancing science
Thanks to the generosity of Fiona and Stanley Druckenmiller, we continued to make major strides in advancing
neurosciences in 2010. We are proud and fortunate to
have some of the greatest minds in neuroscience on our
faculty and—with the recruitment in the fall of the brilliant Richard Tsien, DPhil, to lead our new Neuroscience
Institute—we are poised like never before to continue and
expand our groundbreaking work in this area through both
physical construction of neuroscience research space and
by leading interdisciplinary collaborations across the Medical Center and New York University.
Our researchers continued to make advances on a range
of scientific inquiries: for example, revealing how an
investigational drug wards off the inflammation accompanying rheumatoid arthritis by holding a specific enzyme
at bay; discovering a microRNA that helps regulate cholesterol balance and movement; implicating UVA radiation as a key contributor to melanoma, the deadliest form
of skin cancer; sequencing the genomes of two species of
ants to lay the foundation for understanding environmentally induced epigenetic changes; and discovering new
insights into the maternal heredity of Alzheimer’s disease.
Our dynamic research culture attracts the best minds from all over the world. We strive to develop new and better ways
to diagnose and treat disease and are committed to rapidly bringing advances to the bedside to improve patient care and
public health.
16
research
Our Centers of Excellence continued to advance translational research, and we launched a new interdisciplinary
effort in inflammation, infection, and immunology —
dubbed I3 — building on world-class programs in immunology and inflammatory and infectious diseases. We
commenced planning for the new neurosciences and I3
research building space. We also strengthened our commitment to the public health sciences and our growing
faculty and programs in population health, health services

Translational Science Institute.
a $9.3-million grant from the National Institutes of
Health, and in June by $5.4 million from the Empire
State Stem Cell Board. The stem cell grant will be used,
in part, to expand the RNAi Core Facility. With the
NIH funding, we began to renovate our 40-year-old Berg
research facility—another step in transforming our physical environment to align with our vision. This funding
has allowed us to advance our scientific research in
a range of areas, including neurobehavioral sciences.
And in July, our Division of Laboratory Animal
Resources received full accreditation from the governing
body that oversees animal research, with unprecedented
survey success.
We continued to invest in our researchers and foster
young investigators. We began a new training program
for researchers who are managing labs, giving them the
tools and competencies to run a lab efficiently and effectively. The first session was held in November, with more
than 50 researchers enrolled, representing a mix of clinical and basic scientists. Our efforts to enrich our faculty
through development and mentoring programs are among
the best investments we can make.
funding
By the end of our fiscal year 2010, our baseline NIH
funding had grown from $126.4 million to $138.1 million—a 9.3% increase from the previous year and a fivefold rate of increase compared to other medical schools
around the country. We also benefited from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act with an additional
$49.9 million in funding for scientific research. Our total
research awards for the year exceeded $259 million.
supporting our researchers
In 2010 our new Office of Collaborative Sciences became
fully operational. It was created to cultivate team science
to solve interdisciplinary problems through management
of core research facilities—from the RNAi lab to our new
genome technology center. By harnessing emerging technologies and their application to biomedical problems,
the office is ensuring we remain at the forefront of innovation and state-of-the-art research. In April, our core
facilities and technologies were further bolstered with

NYU School of Medicine is pioneering a new teaching
model, the Curriculum for the 21st Century (C21). C21
represents a major change to medical education as it has
existed for 100 years. Not only will it give students a deeper
knowledge of disease pathways and encourage their pursuit
of scholarly investigation, but it strengthens the humanistic
element of being a doctor and expands the nature of what
students need to know to the civic responsibility of this
noble profession.

a new curriculum
Last year was a pivotal year for our medical education
programs. After two years of planning that engaged more
than 100 faculty members and students, the Curriculum
for the 21st Century (C21) made its debut in September when students in the class of 2014 saw their first
patients—on their first day of class. This new model of
medical education intertwines the clinical and basic sciences through all four years of a student’s training—taking students from the classroom to patients to virtual 3D
operating suites and back again, constantly reinforcing
their understanding of the biological underpinnings of
disease and their consequences on human health.
An integral part of this new model is PLACE, the
Patient-based Longitudinal Ambulatory Clinical Experience. In this early clinical immersion program, medical
students are paired with practicing physicians and asked
to follow a small group of patients over the course of a
year, wherever their illnesses may take them. We see this
as an early opportunity for students to practice how to be
humanistic caregivers. Some PLACE sessions are based in
public health facilities in New York City, such as Baruch
Family Health Center, Gouverneur Healthcare Services,
and the Charles B. Wang Community Health Center, to
expose students to a diverse patient population in a range
of community settings. In addition, students shadow
physicians and patients in private practices.
Over its 169-year history, NYU School of Medicine has trained thousands of physicians and scientists who have helped shape
the course of medical history. In the fall of 2010, for the first time, first-year medical students were introduced to patients on
their first day of classes as part of our Curriculum for the 21st Century, or C21.
22
education
We have enriched our educational offerings by developing
new dual degree programs. In addition to degrees in public
health or public administration, medical students can
now earn a master’s in clinical investigation, global public
health or biomedical ethics. Our C21 curriculum includes
a new emphasis on cultural competencies and healthcare
disparities, and our international health program continued to connect students with health projects throughout
the world—30 sites in the previous academic year.
harnessing technology
In addition to cultivating a student body skilled in providing humanistic, compassionate medical care, we are
equally ensuring a technologically savvy generation of
future doctors. In November, we announced our partnership with the City University of New York to create the
New York Simulation Center for Health Sciences. With
over 20,000 square feet of space, the center will train
a wide range of health professionals including students,
staff, and residents from the School of Medicine, the
NYU Colleges of Dentistry and Nursing, CUNY nursing schools, CUNY allied health professional schools,
and CUNY emergency medical technician programs.
Our proprietary Web Initiative for Surgical Education (WISE-MD), a program using advanced computer
graphics and video to enhance the teaching of surgical
skills to medical students, residents, nurses, and allied
health workers, is now used in 53 schools nationwide, up
from 36 by the end of 2009. Our Division of Educational
Informatics continued to promote and develop cuttingedge tools in medical education, including our online
Learning Activities Modules, or LAMS.
enhancing student life
We are transforming our campus infrastructure to
meet the demands of technology in education, including
a complete renovation of our lecture hall, Alumni Hall
B. The space was fully wired last year for collaborative
learning using tools such as videoconferencing, teleconferencing, and wireless connectivity. We also designed
six new small-group teaching rooms—another step in
our commitment to team-based learning.
We upgraded our residence halls with philanthropic support from our friends. In the summer, the main lobby of
the Susan and Martin Lipton Hall on First Avenue underwent renovations and a host of aesthetic improvements.
And in September, our students began to fill a new
residence on 26th Street to replace the aging Rubin Hall.
Thanks to an extraordinary gift of $21 million from our
longtime faculty member and supporter, Dr. Jan Vilcek,
and his wife, Marica, the hall was renovated to include
a new lounge, fitness center, and study space as well as
upgraded bedroom suites, a modernized lobby, and technology enhancements. In recognition of their steadfast
dedication and constant commitment to the lives of
future generations of physicians, we named the new
facility the Jan and Marica Vilcek Hall.
The Vilceks’ transformational gift will create full-tuition
merit scholarships, allowing our medical school graduates
to begin their careers without debt and ensuring we
attract the most highly qualified and talented students in
an increasingly competitive environment. Their contribution also expands the existing Jan T. Vilcek Endowed
Fellowship Fund, which will greatly aid graduate students
and postdoctoral fellows and dramatically change the
trajectory of their biomedical education and lives.

32
About Us
physicians. Our Physician Scientist Training Program is
designed to give residents and fellows the research skills
needed to conduct the highest caliber science. Our Sackler
Institute, a division of the NYU Graduate School of the
Arts and Science, offers programs in the basic medical
sciences, leading to a PhD and, in coordination with the
Medical Scientist Training Program, combined MD/PhD.
The School has 29 academic departments in the clinical
and basic sciences and more than 50 divisions, programs,

affiliations with area hospitals, including Bellevue Hospital, one of the nation’s finest municipal hospitals, where
students provide care to New York City’s diverse population, enhancing the scope and quality of their education
and training.
transforming medical education
We are transforming medical education with our new
Curriculum for the 21st Century, or C21—a patientcentered and learner-centered curriculum. C21 is
a model of medical education based on a spiral curriculum, or pillars, where learning wraps around and builds
upon specific areas of medicine. The pillars concept aids
students in making connections between the increasingly
complicated mechanisms of disease and clinical concepts.
This fosters student knowledge both through a study
of the scientific underpinnings of a disease and, at the
same time, through direct patient care. This innovative
approach allows students to better connect mechanisms
of disease to the care and treatment of patients. Currently, the four pillars in the curriculum are atherosclerosis, diabetes, colon cancer, and tuberculosis. Starting with
the class of 2014, students see patients beginning the very
first week of medical school and follow many of these
same patients throughout their four years of study.
The School is also on the forefront of leveraging technology to enhance medical learning through the Program for
Medical Education and Technology, which includes webbased training in surgery, as well as a variety of initiatives
that use simulation modalities for clinical teaching.
33
In all areas of our operations—patient services, quality and
safety initiatives, our finances—we have never been more
focused. Through our strategic initiatives and effective and
careful management, we are becoming more efficient and
creating added value that translates both to patient outcomes
and the bottom line. By doing so, we are being recognized
as a leading academic medical center.
