, the Institute is making a strong commitment to maximizing the potential for new collaborations that will ultimately lead to more significant and frequent discoveries," said board president, Mr. John R. Layton, "The Institute's ability to attract such talent is testament to the quality of science already underway here, and the new scientists recognize the benefits of the uniquely interactive environment for discovery that we actively foster."

In addition to attracting and developing new scientific talent, the Institute plans to broaden partnerships with laboratories at local universities and research institutes to further enhance its studies. "The selection of this impressive slate of scientists underscores BBRI's commitment to building successful collaborations both within and outside the Institute," said Dr. Emerson.

"The hiring of these exceptionally talented scientists will strengthen BBRI's efforts in conducting the most innovative research possible," said Dr. Judah Folkman, noted cancer researcher and Trustee of Boston Biomedical. "Under the leadership of Dr. Emerson, with his proven track record of innovation and his passion for disease-based research, this talented constellation of new scientific staff will enable BBRI to have an even greater impact on improving the health of people around the world."

"BBRI has emerged as a very innovative institution for collaborative disease research. The newly hired scientists possess a stellar combination of scientific brilliance, technical excellence, and collaborative savvy, and they are very enthusiastic about the unique research environment that BBRI provides," said Dr. Folkman. "These scientists promise to do great things for BBRI and for human health."
