Dr. Carlos N. Pato, Dean of the College of Medicine at SUNY Downstate, said, “Maimonides and Downstate have a long record of cooperation between the two institutions that has been mutually advantageous to our campuses and beneficial to the people of Brooklyn. Moreover, the neurosciences have been a major focus of Downstate’s mission for many years and this agreement will accelerate the work we are doing in this important area.”    

“Our relationship with SUNY Downstate will now allow us to jointly enhance neuroscience services and medical education in Brooklyn,” said Eugene Keilin, Chair of the Maimonides Board of Trustees. “From the perspective of the Maimonides Board of Trustees, enhancing our academic programs is essential to better serving the current needs of Brooklyn’s vibrant communities.”
