Understanding the critical importance of medical research can take extraordinary vision.  Science and the human body are both incredibly complex, and a particular research project may not yield tangible results for five or ten years.  

Fortunately for Mount Sinai Hospital, Mark Krembil, President of The Krembil Foundation, is the kind of visionary who appreciates the central role research plays in health care.  The Krembil Foundation’s primary focus is funding world-leading and innovative medical research and has made a $1-million commitment to support modern genomic research and computational biology at Mount Sinai Hospital’s Samuel Lunenfeld Research Institute – a gift that will help propel our researchers’ understanding of how cancer changes and distorts normal cellular mechanisms.

The Krembil Foundation often makes grants to research that is so new and innovative it has difficulty securing grants from other sources, but has hopeful, life-saving potential.  The Krembil family’s commitment to research is not only exemplified through generous donations, but through its acumen in selecting research that will have the most significant impact on human health.
