Key Supporters of the CTSB

Governor David Paterson	“Fiscal responsibility doesn’t always mean cutting spending – it also means spending wisely on infrastructure projects that facilitate growth. The University of Rochester project, in particular, will distinguish Rochester as a national leader in translational research, as well as yield millions of dollars in private investment and more than 1,000 jobs for the regional economy. I am proud the state could support this project through its City-by-City initiative.”
The Honorable Sheldon Silver Speaker, New York State Assembly	“This groundbreaking for the Clinical and Translational Science Institute (CTSI) will continue the University of Rochester’s legacy of innovations that ease human suffering. It’s also a giant step toward making this region a world center for biomedical research. As we struggle through this global financial crisis and its profound impact on our state economy, we will need to make difficult choices. But we will remain committed to making the important and strategic investments that will transform and revitalize the Upstate economy.”
The Honorable David Gantt New York State Assembly	"I am proud to support the Clinical and Translational Science Building because its benefits will transcend to everyone in our community through fostering a streamlined process for finding cures and treatments for disease, allowing the University to develop new ways to reach underserved populations."
The Honorable Susan V. John New York State Assembly	“I applaud President Seligman, Speaker Silver and my colleagues in the Assembly majority for their leadership on this project. The CTSI will significantly advance medical research by bringing cutting –edge medical care to the region’s residents, and will serve as a vehicle for economic growth by transforming the region into a powerhouse in the development and evaluation of new medical technologies. According to the Center for Governmental Research, the immediate and catalytic impact of the CTSI will be nearly $30 million annually. The direct and spillover impact of this project will total $43 million in labor income and result in the creation of approximately 600 jobs. Additionally, the Institute will enable the University to aggressively expand the number of clinical and translational investigators over the next 5 to 10 years, which could yield an additional $25 million in research revenue per year.”
The Honorable Joseph Morelle New York State Assembly	“With today’s groundbreaking, the University of Rochester reaffirms its position as one of the truly great academic and research institutions, not only regionally but nationally. In the years to come, the Clinical and Translational Sciences Building will provide a great boost to our local economy, and it will be a nexus of discovery and innovation that greatly enhances our understanding of a broad range of diseases as well our ability to combat them. The benefits of these breakthroughs will be realized around the world, and we are proud to be partners with an institution of such high caliber and renown.”
The Honorable David Koon New York State Assembly	"This institute is the latest example of the world class research and educational facility the University of Rochester has become. As a community, we should be proud of the U of R's passion for excellence, whether it be in the lab or in the classroom. This investment will continue to pay dividends for our area long into the future."
