As the research enterprise of North Shore-LIJ Health System, The Feinstein
Institute for Medical Research stands at the threshold of an extraordinary time
in medicine. The passion and quest for breakthroughs demonstrated each
day by researchers at the Feinstein Institute is exemplified by award-winning
achievements and widespread recognition by the scientific community.
Working in laboratories and on clinical research programs, our scientists
have devoted their lives to making our community a healthier place. They
understand, firsthand, the needs of the people we serve and use this
knowledge to develop new drugs and treatments.
As you can see by the profiles of the outstanding researchers at work at the
Feinstein Institute throughout this report, the future is bright with potential.
Exemplary achievements, such as the advances we're leading in bioelectronic
medicine, are hallmarks of what we can and will do. The vision is in place, and
the researchers are hard at work.
Uniquely positioned within the North Shore-LIJ Health System that touches
the lives of more than eight million people each year in the most diverse region
in the nation, the Feinstein Institute is not only changing the face of medical research, but also the way medicine is
delivered. Our culture of excellence and dedication to the treatment of human disease are demonstrated through the
advances being made in the Feinstein Institute's Centers of Excellence, which are highlighted on the pages that follow.
Joining us in these vitally important endeavors are our generous donors--individuals, businesses and foundations--
who have invested in the Feinstein Institute's mission. Our committed donors are an essential part of our
extraordinary team of physicians, scientists and researchers who enable us to advance science and shape medicine.
This is a pivotal time in the evolution of the Feinstein Institute, and philanthropic support from our community is vital
to both continue and advance our journey to study and cure disease.
As chair of the Board of Directors of the Feinstein Institute, it's both my pleasure--and honor--to remain a dedicated
philanthropic partner of this organization. With your continued support, we will sustain the excellence of the Feinstein
Institute now and for years to come.
