PR96249
NEW YORK, May 31, 2022 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/--
Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount
Sinai recently announced the creation of the Center for Engineering and
Precision Medicine (
) (CEPM), one of the first centers in the nation to bridge engineering and
engineering science with medicine. This undertaking will build on shared basic
research discoveries, explore unique therapeutic innovations in cancer,
Alzheimer's, tissue degeneration, and infectious diseases; educate a new
generation of biomedical leaders; and develop new technologies and processes
that enhance patient outcomes in unprecedented ways. CEPM represents an
evolution in the successful partnership between Mount Sinai and RPI.

The center at 619 West 54th Street in Manhattan will drive advances in
point-of-care and point-of-use devices and diagnostics; microphysiological
platforms for discovery and diagnosis; robotic surgery; biomedical imaging;
therapeutics biomanufacturing; and artificial intelligence and machine learning
applied to biomedical data. These engineering advances will improve patients'
quality of life by synergizing state-of-the-art expertise in research and
education at the nexus of engineering and medicine.
"This transformative partnership between Rensselaer and Icahn Mount Sinai
recognizes that engineering and engineering science is fundamental to the
understanding of biomedical phenomena and is essential to the development of
the next generation of precision diagnostics and therapeutics, human health and
well-being, and to the training of advanced researchers and physicians," said
Shirley Ann Jackson, PhD (
), President of Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. "Innovative research is a
foundation of Rensselaer, as our students, faculty, and graduates continue to
change the world through scientific and technological advances. This center
will continue to fuel medical and scientific discoveries with life-changing
impacts across the globe."
"From highly sensitive and accurate bioimaging systems to new drug target
discoveries, the major inventions that have shaped modern medicine were born
out of close collaboration between engineers and clinicians," said Dennis S.
Charney, MD (
), Anne and Joel Ehrenkranz Dean of the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai
and President for Academic Affairs of the Mount Sinai Health System. "The CEPM
presents a bold new paradigm for that collaboration to continue that we believe
will result in unprecedented advances in science, medicine, and human health.
In addition, the PhD program will enable us to attract and equip a new
generation of researchers with the interdisciplinary engineering and clinical
skills to pursue more groundbreaking, impactful research."
