At a recent event with the theme ‘Accelerating Discoveries in a Golden Age of Biomedicine’ at New York’s Rockefeller University, Stavros Niarchos Foundation (SNF) Co-President Andreas Dracopoulos received Rockefeller’s 2023 Enlightened Philanthropy Award. Former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg spoke in recognition of Dracopoulos’ award, offering a perspective from their long friendship on the impact of Andreas’s philanthropic leadership.
The event also featured a panel with leading Rockefeller University scientists – Nobel laureate Charles Rice, immunologist Michel Nussenzweig, Rockefeller Hospital physician-in-chief Barry Coller, neurobiologist Cori Bargmann, and Rockefeller President Richard Lifton – who discussed recent advances in biomedicine and areas in which they foresee forthcoming breakthroughs. There was consensus that they are optimistic about a greater understanding of neurodegenerative diseases and the development of new treatments for them.
