Bronx College has new Research Center. (Design and Development).Albert Einstein College of Medicine
The Albert Einstein College of Medicine (AECOM) is a graduate school of Yeshiva University. It is a private medical school located in the Jack and Pearl Resnick Campus of Yeshiva University in the Morris Park of Yeshiva University Yeshiva University, in New York City; mainly coeducational; begun 1886 as Yeshiva Eitz Chaim, a Jewish theological seminary, chartered 1928 as Rabbi Isaac Elchanan Theological Seminary and Yeshiva College; renamed 1945. has completed construction of its three-story Gross Magnetic Resonance magnetic resonance, in physics and chemistry, phenomenon produced by simultaneously applying a steady magnetic field and electromagnetic radiation (usually radio waves) to a sample of atoms and then adjusting the frequency of the radiation and the strength of the Research Center on the College's Jack and Pearl Resnick Campus in the Bronx. The $14.7 million, 18,900-SF center, designed by Charles Knapp Charles Knapp may mean:
"The Gross Center is the only facility in the metropolitan area, and one of only six in the world, to use sophisticated high-field magnets to provide imagery on the human body and its cellular components with precision and detail that is not possible with conventional MRIs," said Dr. Dominick P. Purpura purpura Presence of hemorrhages in the skin, often associated with bleeding from natural cavities and in tissues. Major causes include damage to small artery walls (as in vitamin deficiency or allergic reaction) and platelet deficiency (in association with such disorders as , the dean of the medical school. "It will be a vital resource for our students and faculty and for researchers from throughout the New York New York, state, United States New York, Middle Atlantic state of the United States. It is bordered by Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut, and the Atlantic Ocean (E), New Jersey and Pennsylvania (S), Lakes Erie and Ontario and the Canadian province of area." The new center will house the most advanced magnets ever developed for medical research. "Magnetic resonance enables researchers to open a biochemical window to the human body and allows scientists to study entities as small and static as a protein or as large and active as the human brain," explained Dr. Hoby Hetherington, director of the Gross Center. "We can now actually visualize the brain in action and determine how certain compounds effect the brain and other parts of the body." Magnetic resonance can be used to measure nerve loss and damage, to assess how well a body organ is functioning, and how glucose is metabolized. "This new technology allows us to develop new techniques for diagnosing different diseases. We can also use these methods to learn more about a disease and design new therapies or optimize existing ones," said Hetherington. |
