The Rockefeller University is a world-renowned center for research and
graduate education in
the biomedical sciences, chemistry and biophysics. The university’s Ph.D.
program offers
rigorous training and close mentoring by faculty. The graduate program
provides outstanding
opportunities for intellectual growth, is flexible and individualized based
on the student’s
needs, and provides full financial support, and housing on the Upper East
Side of Manhattan.
Rockefeller also offers one of the nation’s top M.D./Ph.D. programs with
neighboring
Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center and Weill Medical College of Cornell
University.

Founded by John D. Rockefeller in 1901 as the nation’s first institute for
medical research,
the university has a laboratory-based structure that encourages
interdisciplinary research.
This innovative, collaborative approach has been an unparalleled success,
contributing to 23
Nobel Prizes—including two prizes awarded to Rockefeller graduates, and
eight to current
faculty including Professors Günter Blobel, 1999; Paul Greengard, 2000; Paul
Nurse, 2001;
and Roderick MacKinnon, 2003.
