Thanks to advances in telescope and digital imaging technology, astronomers are capturing breathtaking amounts of information about celestial phenomena, from extrasolar planets to colliding galaxies. Science Instructor John Blackwell and his students aren’t simply learning about these discoveries; they’re helping to pioneer them.
Through John’s participation in a NASA-funded research program, students have access to raw data collected by observatories around the world and the Kepler orbiting telescope. “Now our students can discover things for themselves,” he says. “We’re looking at galactic nuclei, we’re examining data about a star and determining whether it’s pulsating, rotating or flaring. It’s real science. That’s the excitement of it.”
“I want to drive my students’ curiosity through the roof.”—John A. Blackwell, instructor in science, chair of the Science Department and director of the Grainger Observatory

The Mount Sinai Medical Center
our era will be remembered above all for landmark
advances in the prevention and treatment of cancer,
alzheimer’s disease, heart disease, diabetes, childhood
neurodevelopmental disorders, infectious disease, and
a host of other afflictions.
When tomorrow’s historians recount the institutions
that drove the transformation, they will speak of
The mount Sinai medical Center.
Special place
intellectual curiosity. Social consciousness. The relentless
pursuit of excellence. These values have distinguished
mount Sinai since its founding in 1852 and propelled its
emergence as a world leader in research, patient care,
and education. Today mount Sinai is the site of a great
convergence — of resources, knowledge, technology, and
some of the world’s most brilliant medical minds.
Special time
in the years ahead — with your help — we will fulfill
the immense potential of medical science and achieve
momentous victories in the fight against disease
and suffering.

a gift to the Campaign for Mount Sinai will help shape the future of healthcare — and touch lives for generations to come.
Imagine doctors having the ability to
regenerate organs, to rebuild bones and
nerves. Advances such as these, unheard
of a decade ago, are now within sight. And
Mount Sinai is leading the way.
A force for progress in medicine for over
a century and a half, Mount Sinai today is
spearheading efforts to translate decades
of research into revolutionary treatments
for some of the most chronic and
intractable disorders. By recruiting more of
the world’s most talented physicians and
scientists — and providing them the ideal
conditions for innovation — Mount Sinai
will achieve the breakthroughs that will
make medical history.
A CULTURE OF GRE ATNESS
A heritage of illustrious contributions to science and medicinemount Sinai physicians and scientists have never been
content merely to provide the best available therapies.
instead they have created better ones.
Their historic innovations have shaped modern clinical care,
research, and medical education. Disorders such as Crohn’s
disease and Tay-Sachs disease, for example, are named for the
Mount Sinai physicians who first identified them. And our doctors
have led the way in some of the most trailblazing surgical
techniques of the last 25 years — from angioplasties to stenting
procedures to non-invasive laparoscopic surgeries. Such
achievements have made Mount Sinai one of the most respected
names in healthcare and secured its stature among the world’s
premier academic medical centers.
■ 1909: first textbook in geriatrics, pioneering medical care
for the elderly
■ 1915: first to describe the minimum amount of sodium citrate
needed to keep blood from clotting, paving the way for
modern blood banks
■ 1929: first successful cardiac stress test
■ 1940: new intensive short-term medical treatment for syphilis
■ 1947: first kidney dialysis in the u.S.
■ 1969: Creation of the first genetically engineered vaccine to
protect against influenza
■ 1986: development of an in vitro fertilization technique for
helping sperm cells penetrate egg cells
■ 1991: gene for marfan Syndrome identified
■ 2004: identification of the first common gene variant
linked to autism
■ 2005: The world’s first successful composite tracheal
transplant is performed, using a method that allows patients
to breathe and speak without a tracheotomy
mount Sinai “firsts”
the genesis: Mount Sinai was established at a time when Jewish patients and doctors
were excluded from the city’s private hospitals. Today Mount Sinai stands foremost among
America’s Jewish-founded medical institutions — and attracts patients, physicians, and
scientists of all backgrounds from around the globe.
10
Today: extraordinary strength, momentum, and excitementa new “golden age” is underway at mount Sinai.
Our excellent fiscal health testifies to the skill of our management
team and the foresight of their investment strategies. A steady
stream of medically relevant discoveries reflects the superb quality
of our faculty. Increasing funding from the federal government and
foundations, enhanced media coverage, rising patient volumes,
ascents in key rankings — all of these signal the world’s growing
recognition of our strengths. Moreover, our laboratories, classrooms,
operating rooms, and clinics brim with the energy of individuals
working together to change the face of medicine. The confidence
and anticipation on campus are palpable.
■ Since the founding of the Medical School in the 1960s, Mount
Sinai has risen with remarkable speed to become a top
academic medical center.
■ Mount Sinai now ranks among the top 20 recipients of National
Institutes of Health (NIH) funding; federal grants have doubled
in the last six years despite a stagnant NIH budget.
■ The 2009 U.S. News & World Report “America’s Best Graduate
Schools” issue ranked Mount Sinai 23rd among 130 American
medical schools — up from a 32nd place ranking in 2006.
■ Mount Sinai has been ranked in 10 specialties in U.S. News & World
Report’s 2008 publication of “America’s Best Hospitals,” nearly doubling
the number of specialties ranked in the previous year.
■ The Graduate School of Biological Sciences ranks among the
nation’s top 10 specialized research institutions.
■ The Medical School’s Class of 2009 includes nine M.D./Ph.D.
candidates, more than any other program in the country.
■ Mount Sinai received the second highest overall rating in
New York magazine’s 2006 “Best Hospitals” issue.
■ Mount Sinai physicians account for almost one-fifth of the
1,434 doctors listed in New York magazine’s 2008 “Best Doctors”
feature. At least one Mount Sinai doctor is represented in nearly
every specialty reviewed.

Attracting some of the world’s most brilliant and accomplished medical mindseach year mount Sinai’s faculty roster grows brighter with
more of today’s leading lights in science and medicine.
These pioneers don’t keep up with the latest knowledge in
their fields. They create it. They don’t read the most
authoritative medical textbooks. They write them. And they
are coming to Mount Sinai — often after years at some of the
world’s most prestigious institutions — because they know
it is here that they will do their greatest work. Here they will
have access to one of the most diverse patient populations
in the world, with its incalculable opportunities for recognizing,
understanding, and treating complex diseases. Here they will
find the critical mass of resources, colleagues, and facilities
to revolutionize medicine.

Brain disease: converting knowledge
to know-how

Eric J. nestler, M.D., Ph.D.
Director, Brain institute
Chair, Department of neuroscience
Dr. Nestler was recruited to
Mount Sinai in 2008 from the
University of Texas Southwestern
Medical Center at Dallas.
Mount Sinai is one of only two institutions in the United States to
create a medical school as an outgrowth of a hospital.* Since its
founding in the 1960s, the School of Medicine has grown along
with The Hospital into a single, close-knit medical community.
The results:
a highway from the laboratory to the bedside. Every day,
Mount Sinai clinicians collaborate seamlessly with researchers to
ensure that their patients benefit from the latest discoveries.
As one physician puts it, “We bring the research to the patient
and the patient to the research.” The convergence of minds,
disciplines, and approaches around real clinical cases supercharges
innovation and leads to ever improving patient outcomes.
Fast, efficient decision-making. Unlike most other
academic medical centers, Mount Sinai does not answer to a
university — it is wholly independent. Freed from intramural
negotiations over priorities and resources, leaders are empowered
to set and carry out policies that best advance Mount Sinai’s
mission. What is more, The Hospital and School of Medicine are
governed by an integrated board of trustees and administration.
Unity at the top gives Mount Sinai the agility to respond quickly to
new needs — and seize emerging opportunities.
* The Mayo Clinic is the other.
A fully integrated, streamlined institution
Roger J. Hajjar, M.D.
the arthur and Janet C. Ross Professor of Medicine
Director, Cardiovascular Research Center
Dr. Hajjar joined
Mount Sinai’s faculty in 2007
after more than a decade
at Harvard Medical School
and Massachusetts
General Hospital.
“ At Mount Sinai we’re
developing gene therapies
to restore and enhance
heart function in patients.
In fact, this novel gene
therapy approach will be
available soon at Mount
Sinai on an experimental
basis for patients with
end-stage heart failure.
The future of cardiac care
is unfolding here.”

EXETER i n t h e WORLD : FACULTY OUTREACH
STRENGTHEN AND EXPAND THE CONNECTIONS OF TEACHERS
TO THE WORLD BEYOND THE ACADEMY
PHILLIPS EXETER ACADEMY
C A S E f o r S U P P O RT | FA L L 2 0 1 1
n his 1781 Deed of Gift establishing the Academy, John Phillips wrote of the school’s responsibility
to teach students “the great end and real business of living.” For over two centuries, Exeter faculty
members have honored this core commitment by teaching and exemplifying knowledge and goodness
and preparing young people to excel in college and in a host of professions and endeavors.
Today, that means preparing them to thrive in an increasingly international world. Changes in
technology and demography, the rise of powerhouse economies in China and India and elsewhere,
and burgeoning transnational issues related to climate and sustainability call for ever greater
collaboration and understanding across language, cultural and geopolitical boundaries. Businesses
and organizations in domains ranging from finance to the arts to medicine are more international
than ever.
This is the “real business” of the world
today’s students will inherit. If Exeter is to
continue to carry out its mission in the 21st
century—indeed, if it is to maintain its place
as a premier secondary school—instructors
must continue to deepen their understanding
of the forces and complex challenges that
characterize our global society.
Principal Tom Hassan is committed to educating youth from and for every quarter. To reach this
goal, it is vital that teachers from all disciplines be given the time and resources to connect with peers
beyond the Academy, enhance their teaching through firsthand encounters with other cultures and
customs, and incorporate what they learn into their syllabi, pedagogy and Harkness table discussions.
In recent years, faculty members have traveled to locations in the U.S. and abroad to develop
their expertise, share insights into Harkness-style teaching and learning, and participate in non sibi
service projects. Ideas for similar initiatives abound. What is needed is administrative direction,
logistical coordination, and funding to increase opportunities in number and scope. Our goal is
to engage as many faculty members as possible in extraordinary experiences that will be beneficial
to them and to those they teach for years to come.

We just need you.
Every parent knows: You are only as happy as your least happy child.
1 out of every 5 families in America feels the impact of psychiatric disorders.
More than 75% of these disorders are rooted in the first 2 decades of life. This is when opportunities for
healing are the greatest and intervention costs are the lowest.
Over the past 10 years the NYU Child study Center has brought answers and hope to thousands
of children and families.
Now we have the talent, technology, and science-based solutions to change the fabric of society.

A Crisis
Millions of children and adolescents go undiagnosed and untreated.
15 million American children suffer from a psychiatric or learning disorder.
That is 10 times the number of children affected by leukemia, diabetes, and AIDS combined.
There are only 6,300 practicing child and adolescent psychiatrists in the U.S., with an
estimated need of 32,000 by the year 2020.
Treatments most children receive amount to a band-aid, addressing only narrow aspects
of disorders, not root causes.
3
A reseArCh reVOlUtiON At the NYU Child study Center, we know that psychiatric disorders have
biological roots. That is why we probe them with the same scientific rigor that is ap-
plied to HIV/AIDS or Parkinson’s Disease. And the opportunities for discovery have
never been as good as they are now.
The last 15 years have seen stunning advances in non-invasive
brain-scanning techniques — a development comparable to the invention of
the microscope in the 17th century.
At the same time, the explosion of knowledge resulting from the mapping and
analysis of the human genome is supercharging our efforts to unlock the
genetic and molecular secrets of psychiatric illnesses and learning disorders.
Childhood leukemia has gone from a 20% survival rate to an 80% cure rate.
We can do the same and more for child mental health.
A deCAde Of “firsts”
Since its founding in 1997, the NYU
Child Study Center has been first
to: ■ Demonstrate a powerful new
method of mapping cerebral circuits
in the brain’s crossroads between
thoughts and feelings
■ Show that a circuit that coordi-
nates the brain’s front and back
regions is abnormal in adults with
ADHD ■ Identify brain differences
between children at high risk for
depression and those at low risk for
depression

“The Dominican tradition holds that the humanperson achieves its deepest identity as the image of God
through knowing the truth. This is why academic excellence is the hallmark of a Providence education and always will be.”
- – Fr. Br ian J . Shanley, O.P. , Ph.D. , Pres ident
In Pursuit of Truth
V E R I T A S
Providence College’s motto consists of one word: “Veritas,” the Latin word for “Truth.” All teaching and
learning at Providence begins with a belief in the truth – that it exists, that it is human and divine, that our
greatest duty is to seek it. This conviction, steeped in the Dominican tradition, fuels a vibrant intellectual
climate on campus. Students ask tough questions, challenge conventional wisdom, and reach and defend
their own conclusions.
Dominican teachings endure long after graduation. Providence College alumni approach issues with
reasoned, philosophical thinking that emphasizes moral and ethical insight. As leaders in a broad range
of fields, they shape the national dialogue on topics ranging from HIV/AIDS research to wildlife
preservation to international peace and justice.
