"Mort Zuckerman is a deep and thoughtful man, who once again has revealed his generosity with a gracious gift to the Mind Brain Behavior initiative," said Axel, University Professor and professor of biochemistry, molecular biophysics and pathology. "It is now our responsibility to use this gift creatively to gain greater insight into the most complex, the most fascinating structure in the universe, the human brain." Axel shared the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 2004 for his pioneering research on the olfactory system, expanding our understanding about the sense of smell.
Over the next several years, through carefully planned recruitment, the Institute's faculty will grow to 65 members plus a number of independent junior fellows and visiting scholars. At full strength, there will be 1,000 scientists and staff working across Columbia's campuses.
"The Mortimer B. Zuckerman Mind Brain Behavior Institute will reinforce and catalyze key collaborations between Columbia University's Morningside Heights campus and the Washington Heights health sciences campus," said Dr. Lee Goldman, Columbia's Executive Vice President for Health and Biomedical Sciences and Dean of the Faculties of Health Sciences and of Medicine. "Working together, these Columbia scientists will bring an unprecedented commitment to neuroscience, from the most basic discoveries to the most rapid translation of those discoveries into precision medical care."
Supported by a visionary and extraordinarily generous gift from the late Dawn Greene and the Jerome L. Greene Foundation, the Jerome L. Greene Science Center was designed specifically by architect Renzo Piano to serve as the hub for this neuroscience research and the study of mind, brain and behavior. The Center will include a neuroscience public outreach and education center on Columbia's new Manhattanville campus in West Harlem. The campus plan was recently awarded New York City's first LeeD-ND Platinum designation for environmentally sustainable urban design, a first for a university campus in the United States.
"The Mind Brain Behavior Institute will be transformational as one of the key interdisciplinary priorities for the science departments in Columbia's Faculty of Arts and Sciences," said Amber Miller, dean for science in the Faculty of Arts and Sciences. "Strong science provides a foundation for good decisions across many issues facing our society; and strong social science, humanities, and professional schools provide a framework for integrating new scientific discoveries and inventions. We can all be grateful that Mort Zuckerman has given us this extraordinary opportunity."
The Dec. 17 forum was held in the Rotunda of Low Memorial Library, on the Morningside Heights campus. It provided insight and context on the breadth of scholarship that the Zuckerman Institute will engage across Columbia. In addition to the Institute's three founding co-directors, the conversation featured Geraldine Downey, professor of psychology; Dr. Kenneth Forde, professor emeritus of clinical surgery and University Trustee; Elizabeth Hillman, associate professor of biomedical engineering and radiology; and Dr. David H. Strauss, deputy director for research, New York State Psychiatric Institute and vice chair of Columbia's department of psychiatry.
