About

To foster the biomedical and health sciences component of our research enterprise, we established a Biomedical and Health Sciences Research Council to:

  • develop Touro College and University System-wide research initiatives aimed at stimulating scholarly activity, increase university visibility, and ultimately improve extramural funding in the biomedical and health sciences; and,

The Council is chaired by the Provost for Biomedical Research/Chief Biomedical Research Officer, Dr. Salomon Amar, and membership on the Council includes representatives from our four major campuses:  New York Medical College; Touro College (New York); Touro University California; and, Touro University Nevada.
