We believe in platforms that allow for developing creative solutions to challenging healthcare problems, advancing cutting-edge biomedical research, and designing and implementing innovative teaching modalities in medical education.
Emerging Leaders in Neuroscience Lecture Series
This monthly lecture series sponsored by the BMRI started in 2021. Extramural postdocs that are on the faculty job market and early career scientists who have recently transitioned to independence are invited to share their research with the BMRI neuroscience community. Nominations open in the summer, and selected speakers will present their research, network with BMRI faculty and peers, and receive an honorarium (if eligible).

Feil Family BMRI Neuroscience Summer Scholars Program
Beginning in the summer of 2019, the Helen and Robert Appel Alzheimer's Disease Research Institute together with the BMRI have sponsored the Summer Scholars Internship. These summer scholarships are an opportunity for promising young college-level students with an interest in neuroscience and residing in the New York City area. Scholarships provide awardees a 9-week long paid internships with leaders in neurodegeneration and other neurological diseases as well as addiction and psychiatric disorders. Individuals will receive one-on-one training with a researcher in one of the Appel/BMRI laboratories, develop a research idea and plan, learn scientific methods, and produce their own data. They will also be included in workshops and seminars sponsored by WCM’s Office of Diversity and Inclusion. At the end of the internship, the summer scholars will present their findings in a research seminar.
