Careers
Drs. Greengard and Sharon Mates, both native New Yorkers, and Dr. Allen Fienberg founded ITI in New York City, the Financial Capital of the World, and home to great research institutions, including Rockefeller University, Columbia University, the Cornell Medical Center and Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center . Not surprisingly, New York continues to attract great scientific and business talent. Hopping on the A train, we are just 15 minutes from mid-town Manhattan, with its museums, shops and some of the finest restaurants in the world. Food-connoisseurs may enjoy the eclectic cuisine, from pad thai to paella. (The pizza is great, too.) Music fans may go to the Apollo Theater, take a walk to the Village Vanguard, or spend an evening at Carnegie Hall. Walking along the Great White Way, theater-goers may enjoy any number of plays. Sports fans can cheer on the Yankees in the House that Ruth Built, the Knicks in Madison Square Garden or the Giants across the Hudson River. Or you can simply daydream in Central Park, stroll across the Brooklyn Bridge, take a leisurely ride on the Staten Island Ferry, or see the nation's largest metropolitan zoo in, of all places, The Bronx. To escape from the dog days of summer, New Yorkers go out to the Hamptons, the Jersey shore or Rockaway Beach. And there are plenty of formidable slopes Upstate to ski and to hike.
ITI is proud to call New York City its home. For more information about life in the New York Metropolitan Area, visit www.nyc.gov.

ITI is based in New York City's Audubon Biomedical Science & Technology Park, across the street from the New York-Presbyterian Hospital of Columbia University. ITI enjoys access to the hospital's libraries, gymnasium, biomedical seminars and on-line resources. Though based in Manhattan, some of us take full advantage of the metropolitan area's roads and railways, and live in New Jersey, Westchester, Long Island and Connecticut. Some at ITI prefer to live in the city, enjoying its convenience and energy.
