Related message from Vice Dean for Science and Chief Scientific Officer Dr Vivian S Lee:
In my own field of radiology, research is heavily dependent on technology. Magnetic resonance imaging platforms evolve every few months, and having access to the newest technology means that our research (and grant proposals) benefit from being on the cutting edge of innovation. With this perspective, our administration is strongly committed to ensuring that NYU Langone Medical Center investigators have access to, and in some areas even pioneer, new enabling technologies for research. Last year Dean Grossman announced a $15 million commitment to core facilities to support research across our entire research community. We hope our investments advance science, enhance the education of students and trainees, attract collaborations, and create new intellectual hubs.
To help us achieve these goals, we are delighted to announce that David Levy, PhD, will be the new Associate Dean for Collaborative Science, and Anne Crozat, PhD, will be the new Director of Collaborative Science Administration. Together, they will help lead NYU Langone Medical Center into a new era of core facilities and shared resources. Drs Levy and Crozat will be responsible for evaluating and overseeing core facilities, expanding, developing and implementing technology for the core facilities, and helping our faculty use these core facilities. We are fortunate to have their enthusiastic commitment to this enterprise. Please join me in welcoming and supporting them!
