Albert
Einstein Center for Synchrotron Biosciences - The National
Synchrotron Light Source (NSLS)
The Albert
Einstein Center for Synchrotron Biosciences is a collaborative
research facility located at The Albert Einstein College of Medicine
(AECOM) and The National Synchrotron Light Source (NSLS) at
Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL). Synchrotrons are accelerator
facilities that provide extremely high flux and high brightness
electromagnetic radiation at energies ranging from the infrared,
through the ultraviolet, to the x-ray regions for investigating the
structure of matter.
The Center is
an NIH funded Biotechnology Research Resource grant program serving
an international community of biomedical scientists. The Albert
Einstein College of Medicine is rapidly becoming a world leader in
the use of synchrotron technology for approaching problems in the
Biomedical Sciences. The National Synchrotron Light Source, as a
Department of Energy funded facility, has as a mission to provide
academic institutions access to synchrotron light through various
collaboration and consortium arrangements.
The proximity
of the NSLS to AECOM, as well as the open and collaborative research
environment, has encouraged the use of NSLS facilities by a number
of College investigators. The NSLS is one of the premier synchrotron
sources in the world. Currently, it provides AECOM investigators
access to electromagnetic radiation in the infrared and x-ray
regions. The goal of this Center is to enhance the research efforts
of AECOM faculty and provide unique and powerful research tools.

Albert Einstein Biotechnology Center - NIDDK Biotechnology
Consortium
The National
Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) has
launched the Biotechnologies Consortium to bring to bear the fruit
of the Human Genome Project to investigators working with the NIDDK.
The NIDDK has committed to establishing biotechnology centers to
make comprehensive gene expression technologies widely available to
researchers working in areas supported by NIDDK. The Albert Einstein
Biotechnology Center is such a center; other centers are located at
Baylor College of Medicine, Duke University, Harvard University, The
Jackson Laboratories, Johns Hopkins University, University of
Cincinnati, University of Florida, University of Michigan,
Vanderbilt University, and Yale University. NIDDK Biotechnology
Centers will provide genomic profiling resources to investigators
working in research areas within the NIDDKxs mission. These
individual centers will interact as a consortium to provide a
comprehensive, supportive and consistent environment for the
development of genomic tools for the study of NIDDK-related
conditions.

AECOM/MMC CFAR
- Centers for AIDS Research
The Einstein/MMC
Center for AIDS Research (CFAR) coordinates the diverse research
activities at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine (AECOM) and
Montefiore Medical Center (MMC) that involve hundreds of
investigators working with over 40 NIH-funded faculty members from a
broad range of basic and clinical departments. Including AECOM/MMC
CFAR, there are 21 NIH-funded CFARs located at academic and research
institutions throughout the U.S. The Centers for AIDS Research (CFAR)
program at the National Institutes of Health provides administrative
and shared research support to synergistically enhance and
coordinate high quality AIDS research projects. CFARs accomplish
this through core facilities that provide expertise, resources, and
services not otherwise readily obtained through more traditional
funding mechanisms. The CFAR program emphasizes the importance of
interdisciplinary collaboration, especially between basic and
clinical investigators, translational research in which findings
from the laboratory are brought to the clinic and vice versa, and an
emphasis upon inclusion of minorities and inclusion of prevention
and behavioral change research.
