The Rockefeller University Main Campus in New York City is a world-renowned center for biomedical research and education. As a graduate-only institution, it focuses on advanced scientific training and research rather than undergraduate programs. The university offers a highly specialized curriculum designed for students pursuing careers in the life sciences and biomedical fields.
The primary academic offering is the Ph.D. program in the biomedical sciences, which encompasses a wide range of disciplines aimed at understanding the molecular and cellular basis of life and disease. Students engage in cutting-edge research under the mentorship of leading scientists, often contributing to groundbreaking discoveries in areas such as genetics, neuroscience, and immunology.
In addition to the Ph.D. program, the university offers the Tri-Institutional M.D.-Ph.D. Program in collaboration with Weill Cornell Medicine and Sloan Kettering Institute. This dual-degree program trains physician-scientists who combine clinical expertise with research skills to address complex medical challenges.
The campus fosters a collaborative and interdisciplinary environment, with access to state-of-the-art laboratories and resources. Students and researchers work closely with faculty to push the boundaries of scientific knowledge, often focusing on translational research that bridges the gap between laboratory discoveries and clinical applications. The Rockefeller University remains a leader in training the next generation of scientists dedicated to solving some of the most pressing health challenges facing humanity today.
