“Einstein is well-known for its excellence in basic, translational, and clinical research and our faculty have again proven extraordinarily successful in securing federal funding to continue their innovative work,” said Yaron Tomer, M.D., the Marilyn and Stanley M. Katz Dean at Einstein and chief academic officer at Montefiore Medicine. “From deepening our understanding of human biology to developing interventions for our most vulnerable community members, our faculty will continue to be at the forefront of advancing scientific inquiry and providing humanistic, evidence-based care.”

This year’s largest grant supports one of the institution’s major centers: $30 million to the Harold and Muriel Block Institute for Clinical and Translational Research at Einstein and Montefiore, (principal investigators: Marla Keller, M.D., and Mimi Kim,  Sc.D.), as well as an additional $4.9 million to support the institute’s education and training programs (Paul Marantz, M.D., M.P.H., Michal Melamed, M.D., M.H.S., and H. Dean Hosgood, Ph.D.)

Several faculty members received funding to investigate the brain health of older adults, including:
