History
The Rockefeller University was founded in June 1901 as The Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research—often called simply The Rockefeller Institute[7]—by John D. Rockefeller, who had founded the University of Chicago in 1889, upon advice by his adviser Frederick T. Gates[1] and action taken in March 1901 by his son, John D. Rockefeller Jr.[8] Greatly elevating the prestige of American science and medicine, it was America's first biomedical institute, like France's Pasteur Institute (1888) and Germany's Robert Koch Institute (1891).[1] The Rockefeller Foundation, a philanthropic organization, founded in 1913, is a separate entity, but had close connections mediated by prominent figures holding dual positions.[9]
The first director of laboratories was Simon Flexner, who supervised the development of research capacity at the institute, whose staff made major discoveries in basic research and medicine. While a student at Johns Hopkins University, Flexner had studied under the institute's first scientific director, William H. Welch, first dean of Hopkins' medical school and known as the dean of American medicine.[8] Flexner retired in 1935 and was succeeded by Herbert Gasser.[10] He was succeeded in 1953 by Detlev Bronk, who broadened The Rockefeller Institute into a university that began awarding the PhD degree in 1954.[8] In 1965 The Rockefeller Institute's name was changed to The Rockefeller University.[8]
For its first six decades, the institute focused on basic research to develop basic science, on applied research as biomedical engineering, and, since 1910—when The Rockefeller Hospital opened on its campus as America's first facility for clinical research—on clinical science.[11] The Rockefeller Hospital's first director Rufus Cole retired in 1937 and was succeeded by Thomas Milton Rivers.[12] As director of The Rockefeller Institute's virology laboratory, he established virology as an independent field apart from bacteriology.
In the 1940s, it hosted a "scientific team that overturned medical dogma" and "became the first to demonstrate that genes were made of DNA."[13]
Rockefeller family
Rockefeller Sr visited the university just once, at the urging of Rockefeller Jr, who was enthusiastic about the institute.[1]: 475 Rockefeller Jr and his youngest son David visited more often.[14] David Rockefeller joined the board of trustees in 1940, was its chairman from 1950 to 1975, chaired the board's executive committee from 1975 to 1995, became honorary chairman and life trustee,[15] and remained active as a philanthropist until his death.[14]
Institutional changes
Rockefeller Institute Hospital was renamed Rockefeller University Hospital.
Archives
The archives of Rockefeller University are at the Rockefeller Archive Center, established in 1974 as part of the university and organized as an independent foundation since 2008.[16]

Graduate degree programs
Rockefeller University admitted its first graduate students in 1955.[22] Today, about 255 graduate students are enrolled in the program, which offers doctoral degrees in the biomedical sciences, chemistry, and biophysics.[23] The university's organization on the basis of laboratories rather than a hierarchical departmental structure[24] extends to the graduate program, where laboratory research is the primary focus and students can meet degree requirements by participating in any combination of courses.[23] In partnership with neighboring Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center and Weill Cornell Medicine, Rockefeller participates in the Tri-Institutional MD–PhD Program as well as a Tri-Institutional chemical biology Ph.D. program.[25]
Contemporary research
Rockefeller ranks highly in the CWTS Leiden Ranking,[26] an international ranking of research impact.
Rockefeller faculty have made contributions to breakthroughs in biomedical sciences. Michael W. Young was one of several scientists who located genes that regulate the sleep–wake cycle in 1984.[27] In 1994, Jeffrey M. Friedman’s laboratory discovered leptin, a gene that influences appetite and weight.[28] Charles David Allis helped identify the first enzyme that modifies histones in 1996, providing early evidence that the DNA packaging material plays a crucial role in gene regulation.[29] In 1998, Roderick MacKinnon’s laboratory elucidated the structure and mechanism of a potassium channel, explaining how electrical signals are conveyed across cell membranes.[30] Titia de Lange was part of a team that found how telomeres protect chromosome ends, shedding light on the role of genome instability in cancer in 1999.[31] Robert B. Darnell led research that defined the molecular basis of fragile X syndrome, the second leading cause of intellectual disability, in 2001.[32] Vincent A. Fischetti was part of a group that developed a powerful agent that can target and wipe out anthrax bacteria in 2002.[33] Charles M. Rice helped produce an infectious form of the hepatitis C virus in laboratory cultures of human cells in 2005, leading directly to three new classes of hepatitis C drugs.[34] Elaine Fuchs helped define the stem cells that can initiate squamous cell carcinoma in 2011, and also characterized the signaling pathways that drive malignancy.[35] In 2013, Leslie B. Vosshall’s laboratory identified a gene in mosquitoes that is responsible for their attraction to humans and their sensitivity to the insect repellent DEET.[36] Ali Brivanlou's laboratory developed a method to grow embryos outside the uterus for up to 13 days in 2016, allowing scientists to study the earliest events of human development.[37]
In 2020, many Rockefeller scientists shifted the focus of their research in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.[38] Michel C. Nussenzweig pioneered a method to isolate and clone antibodies from people who successfully recovered from COVID-19 to design a treatment that prevents people from developing severe disease.[39] Jean-Laurent Casanova identified genetic mutations that are responsible for a subset of unexpectedly severe cases of COVID-19.[40]
Campus and student life
Founder's Hall was the first building on Rockefeller's campus, built between 1903 and 1906.[41] It housed the nation's first major biomedical research laboratory and was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1974.[42] Caspary Auditorium, a 40-foot-high, 90-foot round geodesic dome, was built in 1957 and hosts a variety of concert series and lectures.[43] The completion of the Stavros Niarchos Foundation–David Rockefeller River Campus in 2019, built along the East River over FDR Drive, added two acres to Rockefeller's footprint.[44] Rockefeller's campus houses a childcare center for researchers and other university employees.[45]
Graduate students are offered subsidized housing on campus and receive an annual stipend.[23] Student groups include People at Rockefeller Identifying as Sexual/Gender Minorities (PRISM), Women in Science at Rockefeller (WISeR), and the Science and Education Policy Association (SEPA).[46] The student-run publication Natural Selections is produced monthly.[47]
Promotion of women in science and outreach activities
The Rockefeller University established a Women in Science initiative in 1998 to address the underrepresentation of women in the field.[48] It is founded mainly by female philanthropists.[49] The program includes scholarships and an entrepreneurship found to help increase the low number of female researchers that commercialize their discoveries.[50] In 2004 Rockefeller's professor Paul Greengard donated the full amount of his Nobel Prize to establish the Pearl Meister Greengard Prize given annually to a woman scientist in the field of biology.
Rockefeller also host diverse initiatives to promote science and culture: Parents & Science Initiative,[51] The RockEDU Science Outreach for K-12 students and teachers[52] that includes lab experience and professional development and The Lewis Thomas Prize for writing about science is given annually.
In addition, Rockefeller hosts the Peggy Rockefeller Concerts[53] and in collaboration with Cornell University and Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center it hosts the Tri-Institutional Noon concert Series.
In 2012, Rockefeller began participating in Open House New York's OHNY Weekend.[54]

In the mid-1970s, the university attracted a few prominent academicians in the humanities, such as Saul Kripke.
Controversy
Reginald Archibald, an endocrinologist at the university from 1948 to 1982, allegedly abused dozens or hundreds of boys during his time at the university while studying growth problems in children, including molestation and photographing them naked.[60][61][62] Officials at Rockefeller University knew of the legitimacy of the claims for years before notifying the public.[61] The university and hospital issued a statement confirming that Archibald had "engaged in certain inappropriate conduct during patient examinations" and that they "deeply regret[ted]" any "pain and suffering" the former patients felt.[60] New York State passed a law known as the Child Victims Act, which created a one-year window for civil suits brought by former child victims, allowing them to make cases against the university.[62]
