Research Facilities

Jacobi residents have access to cutting edge research opportunities in the various research facilities both within the hospital and at Einstein:

 

  • The Jack and Pearl Resnick Campus:
    • The Arthur B. and Diane Belfer Educational Center for Health Sciences (1972) is the school’s main educational building and houses the 1st year medical students’ lecture hall (Riklis Auditorium) along with instructional labs and various conference rooms. The administrative offices are also located here.
    • The Leo Forchheimer Medical Sciences Building (1953) is the school’s first building. It contains the Robbins auditorium (the 2nd year medical student lecture hall), Max and Sadie lounge, various biological research labs and anatomy labs, and other lecture rooms for graduate courses. In 2007, the building caught on fire twice, severely disrupting classes and research. This building is also home to the D. Samuel Gottesman Library, located on the 1st floor of the building.
    • The D. Samuel Gottesman Library serves the needs of the Einstein community. (during peak exam periods the library will have extended study hours on Friday night and Saturday, the weekend before exams.) The library is open Sunday through Friday; it is closed in observance of the Sabbath on Saturdays. In June 2006, the library embarked on a year-long renovation project of its main floor.
    • Ullmann Research Center for Health Sciences (1964).
    • The Irwin B. and Sylvia Chanin Institute for Cancer Research (1978) is devoted exclusively to basic investigations into malignant processes.
    • Mazer Building contains, among other things, the Lubin Student Center, which is the school’s kosher dining hall.
    • Gruss Magnetic Resonance Research Center
    • The Samuel H. and Rachel Golding Building (1996) is a 10-story biomedical research facility that is an addition to the original Forchheimer building.
    • Falk Recreation Center, which houses a gym, pool, indoor track, in addition to basketball, squash and racquetball courts.
    • Morris Park Avenue bisects the campus, separating the majority of academic and research buildings from the residential buildings and new construction.
    • The Eastchester Road Residence Complex, a 634-apartment complex comprising three 28 story apartment buildings, provides housing to all MD and PhD students (including some post-doctoral fellows) and their families.
    • The Rhinelander Hall Residence Complex houses mostly post-docs and the occasional med student.
    • The Jack D. Weiler Hospital of the Albert Einstein College of Medicine. Weiler is a division of Montefiore Medical Center.
    • The Rose F. Kennedy Center for Research in Mental Retardation and Human Development lies on the adjacent campus of the Bronx Municipal Hospital Center (Jacobi Medical Center).
    • The Van Etten Building (soon to be fully renovated), home to the now finished Ruth L. Gottesman Clinical Skills Center, a 22,700-square-foot (2,110 m2) space of classrooms and 23 fully equipped exam rooms for the clinical instruction of first and second year medical students.
