Michael Overholtzer, PhD, also stresses the educational aspects of the environment.

“I’ve seen firsthand how amazing the Tri-I is — the unparalleled education and research collaboration between these three world-class institutions — and,
to me, that makes this the best place in the world to do science, particularly biomedical science,” says Dr. Overholtzer, who leads a cell biology lab and serves as Dean of the Gerstner Sloan Kettering Graduate School of Biomedical Science.

Yet it wasn’t until Dr. Overholtzer started to run his own lab that he fully appreciated the importance of investigators’ roles as educators.

Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK or MSKCC) is a cancer treatment and research institution in Manhattan in New York City. MSKCC is one of 72 National Cancer Institute–designated Comprehensive Cancer Centers.[3][4] Its main campus is located at 1275 York Avenue between 67th and 68th Streets in Manhattan.

It was formed in 1980 from the merger of the Memorial Hospital for the Treatment of Cancer and Allied Diseases, founded in 1884, and the adjacent Sloan-Kettering Institute for Cancer Research, founded in 1945. The two medical entities had formally coordinated their operations since 1960.

Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center is the world’s oldest and largest private nonprofit institution devoted to the prevention, treatment, and cure of cancer. It is also generally considered one of the best facilities in the United States for combating this dreaded disease. In 2001, for example, U.S. News & World Report rated it first in cancer care among U.S. medical institutions, a ranking it has often held. Each year Memorial Sloan-Kettering offers both inpatient and outpatient services to well over 10,000 patients.
