Our Legacy of Scientists
Rockefeller invented the modern bioscience institute and has spent the last 123 years perfecting it.
History of Rockefeller
Established in 1901, the Rockefeller Institute for Biomedical Research was a revolutionary concept of the time: an institute dedicated to conducting research into the underlying causes of disease.
Our record of achievement is in a league of its own: 26 Nobel Prizes, 26 Lasker Awards, and 20 National Medals of Science. Nearly 50 percent are members or foreign associates of the National Academy of Sciences.
Science is a very dynamic enterprise; nothing stays the same for long. But Rockefeller's people are fantastic in supporting that. It all fits together to make this a wonderful place to do science.
Our open faculty searches run twice a year, in the spring and fall. We look to recruit the best, brightest, and most innovative scientists in the world, regardless of field.
Rockefeller has a strong tradition of translational science—nearly half of the university’s laboratories conduct studies on human subjects. The exceptional resources at The Rockefeller University Hospital allow our scientists to conduct clinical research that would be difficult to do anywhere else.
