Mount Sinai School of Medicine recently broke ground on a $125 million new building expansion and modernization project at Mount Sinai Queens. Construction began in October 2013 and is expected to be completed by 2016. The new building at Mount Sinai will house state-of-the-art operating rooms; an expanded emergency department; a multispecialty medical practice that includes primary care, specialty care, and urgent care; diagnostic and laboratory services; and medical offices that conduct on-site outpatient imaging.

“Cardiac surgery has been a spectacularly innovative field of medicine,” says the abstract of a Mount Sinai School of Medicine grant proposal on the NIH RePORTER. “The introduction of major innovations and ongoing incremental change have extended survival and improved quality of life for many patients suffering from cardiac disease. A rapid pace of innovation requires a rigorous infrastructure for clinical evaluation that provides timely assessments of the value of new treatments.”

Researchers at Stony Brook University recently received $1.2 million in life science funding from the NIH for a Sphingolipids in Cancer Biology and Therapy project led by Yusuf Awni Hannun. According to Stony Brook University, Dr. Hanuun is a renowned molecular biologist and physician-researcher interested in the molecular mechanisms of cancer. In 2012, he was appointed director of the Stony Brook Cancer Center, and he also serves as the Joel Kenny Professor of Medicine and Vice Dean for Cancer Medicine. The NIH RePORTER gives some background information on the project receiving NIH life science research funding:

Researchers from Rockefeller University and Necker Medical School in Paris worked together to discover one way fungal infections spread below the skin’s surface on a genetic level. The condition, known as dermatophytosis, can mean that an infection spreads to the lymph nodes, bones, digestive tract or the brain. The team of researchers discovered a genetic deficiency that makes this possible, shedding light on the theory that says genetic deficiencies can cause normally healthy people to become very ill from an infection.

Columbia University Medical Center administrators recently broke ground at a new medical facility, which will be called the Medical and Graduate Education Building. Columbia University is planning on completing the new medical facility by 2016. Located on Haven Avenue between 171st and 172nd streets in Washington Heights, the building is expected to help resolve the medical center’s space shortages. Architecture firms Diller Scofidio + Renfro and Genseler designed the building, which is described as modern and includes floor-to-ceiling glass windows and a terrace on top of the building with great views of the Hudson River.

Researchers at Stony Brook University in collaboration with colleagues at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine used DNA sequencing methods to make a new discovery: the direct causation of exposure to aristolochic acid (AA), which is found in a plant that’s been used in herbal remedies for thousands of years, in the development of urothelial cancer.

Researchers at Columbia University Medical Center recently conducted a study examining brains of a number of different ages donated by people who died without signs of neurologic disease. During the course of the investigation, researchers came to the conclusion that a certain hippocampus gene’s function deteriorates in older people. The researchers believe that age-related memory loss is distinct condition from Alzheimer’s or pre-Alzheimer’s, and that the condition may be treatable in the future.

Science researchers at Rockefeller University, Duke University and the University of California, San Francisco recently conducted a study that found that the pain and red skin associated with sunburn is caused by a molecule that’s heavily concentrated in the skin’s epidermis. The study was published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. The results of this study could lead to a way to prevent sunburn and possibly other sources of pain.
