The Elmezzi Graduate School of Molecular Medicine is a program that confers the PhD degree in Molecular Medicine to young physicians who wish to pursue careers in biomedical research.[1][2] This graduate school provides the grounding for the Department of Molecular Medicine[3] for Hofstra North Shore-LIJ School of Medicine at Hofstra University.. It is a registered non-profit organization.[4][5]

The course provides academic training to physicians to discover and understand the causes of human diseases and to translate this information into diagnostic and therapeutic solutions.

History

The Elmezzi Graduate School is part of the North Shore-LIJ Health System and a sister organization to the Feinstein Institute for Medical Research in Manhasset, NY. It became part of the Health System and Feinstein Institute in 2011 and was renamed from Picower Graduate School Of Molecular Medicine to the Elmezzi Graduate School of Molecular Medicine in 2008 due to a $15 million donation[6][7] to endow the graduate school from the Thomas and Jeanne Elmezzi Private Foundation.[8] Biomedical research in the North Shore-LIJ Health System has been vital within its two major academic medical centers - North Shore University Hospital and Long Island Jewish Medical Center since their establishment in the early 1950s. With continued growth, research through the system would become part of the Feinstein Institute for Medical Research. The Feinstein opened in 1999 to facilitate disease-oriented basic and clinical research.[9]

More than 125 investigators and clinical scientists are enrolled in the Institute, conducting research in autoimmunity,[10] rheumatology,[11] oncology,[12] immunology and inflammation,[13] genetics,[11] psychiatry, neurology,[14] surgery, and obstetrics/gynecology. The scientists of the Institute and the students of the graduate school collaborate with clinicians (physicians, dentists, medical students, fellows and residents) throughout the system to identify unanswered questions relating to diseases treated in the hospitals. These questions are developed into research to shed light on basic biological processes underlying disease.[15]
