COLUMBIA/ROCKEFELLER CENTER FOR AIDS RESEARCH

洛克菲勒大学（RU）校长托尔斯滕·威茨博士和 哥伦比亚大学（CU）医学院院长赫伯特帕德斯（Herbert Pardes）， 共同提议建立哥伦比亚-洛克菲勒中心， 艾滋病研究（CR-CFAR），一个连接艾滋病的行政结构 来自我们位于纽约市的两所大学的调查人员。 CR-CFAR将由大卫博士监督的一系列附例管理 何（主任，亚伦钻石艾滋病研究中心，RU）和杰里米鲁班 （CU分子病毒学部门负责人）和执行指导 委员会成员包括：Yuan Chang博士、伦纳德Chess博士、Anke Ehrhardt博士、 斯蒂芬·戈夫、韦恩·亨德里克森、马丁·马科维茨、普雷斯顿、马克思、约翰 摩尔和拉尔夫·斯坦曼。CR-CFAR成员将包括 来自亚伦·戴蒙德艾滋病研究中心的70多名研究人员 (RU)纽约艾滋病临床和行为研究中心 国家精神病研究所（CU），一般临床研究中心 （GCRC）在RU医院，哥伦比亚大学儿科和成人 ACTU，在哥伦比亚长老会医疗中心的临床部门看到 中心和哈莱姆医院医疗中心（CU）， CU和RU的基础科学，以及实验室 医学和外科在灵长类动物（RU）。两个目标统一了所有CR-CFAR 参与者第一个目标是更多地了解 艾滋病毒的复制、传播和发病机制，研究范围从 病毒蛋白质结构的原子解析与心理社会动力学 市中心社区第二个目标是整合这个 将信息转化为开发抗病毒疗法和疫苗的项目， 以及社区外展和信息， 治疗和疫苗，以及社区外展和行为 干预策略。通过支持七个可修改的核心设施， （管理，开发，病毒学，免疫学，临床资源， 结构生物学和灵长类生物学），CR-CFAR将促进三个 主要目标：1）加强优秀的研究计划， 已经到位，通过提供，或简单地使更容易获得， 共享研究设施; 2）帮助招募初级教师到我们的 计划和我们的机构，并鼓励建立 从我们的教师队伍中挑选调查人员， 艾滋病相关主题的方案; 3）促进对话， 与CR-CFAR成员进行富有成效的合作。

Dr. Torsten Wiesel, President of the Rockefeller University (RU), and Dr. Herbert Pardes, Dean of the Medical Faculty of Columbia University (CU), jointly propose the establishment of the Columbia-Rockefeller Center for AIDS Research (CR-CFAR), an administrative structure bridging AIDS investigators from our two Universities located in the City of New York. The CR-CFAR will be governed by a series of by-laws overseen by Drs. David Ho (Director, Aaron Diamond AIDS Research Center, RU) and Jeremy Luban (Chief, Division of Molecular Virology, CU), and by an Executive Steering Committee consisting of Drs. Yuan Chang, Leonard Chess, Anke Ehrhardt, Stephen Goff, Wayne Hendrickson, Martin Markowitz, Preston Marx, John Moore, and Ralph Steinman. The CR-CFAR membership will be comprised of over 70 investigators drawn from the Aaron Diamond AIDS Research Center (RU), the HIV Center for Clinical and Behavioral Studies at the New York State Psychiatric Institute (CU), the General Clinical Research Center (GCRC) at the RU Hospital, the Columbia University Pediatric and Adult ACTUs, seen clinical departments at the Columbia-Presbyterian Medical Center and at the Harlem Hospital Medical Center (CU), ten departments of basic science at CU and RU, as well as the Laboratory for Experimental Medicine and Surgery in Primates (RU). Two goals unify all CR-CFAR participants. The fist goal is to understand more about the mechanism of HIV replication, transmission, and pathogenesis, with studies ranging from atomic resolution of viral protein structure to the psycho-social dynamics of the inner city community. The second goal is to integrate this information into programs developing anti-viral therapeutics and vaccines, and community outreach and information into programs developing anti-viral therapeutics and vaccines, and community outreach and behavioral intervention strategies. By supporting seven modifiable core facilities (Administration, Development, Virology, Immunology, Clinical Resources, Structural Biology, and Primate Biology), the CR-CFAR will promote three major objectives: 1) to enhance the outstanding research programs that are already in place by providing,, or simply rendering more accessible, shared research facilities; 2) to help recruit junior faculty to our programs and to our institutions, and to encourage established investigators from within the ranks of our faculty to develop research programs in AIDS-related topics; and 3) to promote dialogue leading to new productive collaborations involving CR-CFAR members.
