COLD SPRING HARBOR LABORATORY

RESEARCH: COLD SPRING HARBOR LABORATORY (CSHL), FOUNDED IN 1890, IS A WORLD-RENOWNED, PRIVATE RESEARCH AND EDUCATION INSTITUTION WITH RESEARCH PROGRAMS IN CANCER, NEUROSCIENCE, PLANT BIOLOGY, QUANTITATIVE BIOLOGY, AND BIOINFORMATICS & GENOMICS. THE RESEARCH ENVIRONMENT IS HIGHLY COLLABORATIVE, ALLOWING CSHL SCIENTISTS TO WORK TOGETHER ACROSS DISCIPLINES TO SOLVE BIOLOGY'S MOST CHALLENGING PROBLEMS. THE ULTIMATE GOAL IS TO APPLY THIS RESEARCH ON BASIC BIOLOGICAL MECHANISMS TO IMPROVE THE DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT OF CANCER, NEUROLOGICAL DISORDERS AND OTHER DISEASES. (SEE SCHEDULE O)(CONTINUED FROM PART III)RESEARCH AT THE LABORATORY IS ENRICHED BY COLLABORATIONS WITH SCIENTISTS AT OTHER UNIVERSITIES, HOSPITALS AND IN THE BIOTECH AND PHARMACEUTICAL SECTORS. THESE PARTNERINGS HAVE INCLUDED NYU, MEMORIAL SLOAN-KETTERING, WEILL CORNELL AND HARVARD. THE INNOVATIVE SPIRIT, VISION AND TALENT OF THE LABORATORY'S OVER 600 SCIENTISTS CONTINUE TO PLACE CSHL AMONG THE TOP 1% OF LIFE SCIENCE INSTITUTIONS MOST CITED IN PUBLISHED RESEARCH. THE LABORATORY HAS BEEN A NATIONAL CANCER INSTITUTE-DESIGNATED CANCER CENTER WITH AN NCI "OUTSTANDING" RATING. IT HAS BEEN HOME TO EIGHT NOBEL LAUREATES, INCLUDING BARBARA MCCLINTOCK, DISCOVERER OF THE "JUMPING GENES". THE LABORATORY OFFERS AN ADVANCED DRUG TESTING FACILITY DELIVERING WELL-VALIDATED DRUG CANDIDATES TO BOTH THE BIOTECH AND PHARMACEUTICAL INDUSTRY. SINCE 2015, CSHL HAS HAD AN AFFILIATION WITH NORTHWELL HEALTH, THE AFFILIATION HAS LAUNCHED NEW EDUCATION INITIATIVES, EXPANDED ACCESS TO CLINICAL TRIALS, AND PROVIDED FUNDING FOR NEW INVESTIGATIONS THAT WILL HAVE A RAPID IMPACT IN THE CLINIC. TOGETHER, CSHL AND NORTHWELL HEALTH ARE COMMITTED TO BRINGING OUR DISCOVERIES OUT OF THE LAB AND TO THE PATIENTS. AS A TEAM, WE ARE POISED TO IDENTIFY NEW CANCER DIAGNOSTICS AND THERAPEUTICS THAT WILL MORE EFFECTIVELY AND RAPIDLY TREAT CANCER THAN EVER BEFORE.

EDUCATIONAL MEETINGS & COURSES PROGRAM: CSHL'S REPUTATION AS ONE OF THE PREMIER HUBS OF ACTIVITY IN BIOLOGY AND GENETICS IS LINKED TO ITS MEETINGS AND COURSES PROGRAM. WITH ROOTS IN THE LEGENDARY ANNUAL SYMPOSIA IN QUANTITATIVE BIOLOGY SERIES, WHICH BEGAN IN 1933, THE PROGRAM ORGANIZES MORE THAN 60 MEETINGS AND COURSES ANNUALLY, COVERING A WIDE RANGE OF TOPICS IN THE BIOLOGICAL SCIENCES. IN 2023, THE PROGRAM CONTINUED TO SUCCESSFULLY HOLD VIRTUAL MEETINGS AND COURSES ATTRACTING CLOSE TO 13,000 PARTICIPANTS. (SEE SCHEDULE O)(CONTINUED FROM PART III)PARTICIPANTS RANGE FROM THE MOST ACCOMPLISHED SENIOR INVESTIGATORS TO GRADUATE STUDENTS AND POSTDOCS. PROGRAMS ARE PUT TOGETHER ON THE BASIS OF OPENLY SUBMITTED ABSTRACTS AND INCLUDE DISCUSSIONS OF UNPUBLISHED WORK. CSH ASIA, A CSHL-STYLED MEETING PROGRAM, BEGAN IN 2009, AND CONTINUES TO OPERATE IN SUZHOU, CHINA.
