School of Graduate Studies

Preparing future scientists and academic physicians to decipher the building blocks of life鈥攁nd use them to open new frontiers.

Time-tested. Nobel-approved.

We've been at the forefront of biomedical research since 1956, when we launched our graduate program. A Downstate faculty member, Dr. Robert Furchgott, won a Nobel Prize for his work with nitric oxide. His research revolutionized the way we treat strokes, heart attacks, impotence and more. Other Downstate researchers developed the first heart-lung machine, and helped invent the MRI.
