The consortium was formed in May 2012 with the goal of expanding research and education collaborations between north central Bronx organizations with deep ties to the borough. It is tasked with conducting research that is interdisciplinary, utilizing the talents and input of faculty members, biologists, chemists, mathematicians, patients, clinicians, and others from each of the partner institutions.
