Faculty
University of Rochester faculty take on the wicked problems of the world, fearlessly.
John Foxe, PhD, director of the Ernest J. Del Monte Institute for Neuroscience, moved to Rochester from New York City because the University is a national powerhouse in the neurosciences. Today, Foxe leads teams of engineers, chemists, biologists, physicians, and neuroscientists to attack massive health problems like Alzheimer’s disease, which will cost the U.S. economy more than $1.1 trillion by 2050.
Changing lives is what we’re all about. We really need to throw the book at these diseases, because the stakes are really high here.
