Guiding our communities through research
The Feinstein Institutes for Medical Research is Northwell Health’s research enterprise and home to five major research institutes and numerous centers of excellence of national standing. Along with our partners in government, academia, industry and philanthropy, we pursue getting new therapies and therapeutic methods into the hands of doctors and their patients as quickly as possible.
Our work is transforming the treatment of conditions like Crohn’s disease, lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, sepsis, cancer, acute psychiatric illness and Alzheimer’s disease. And we are the world’s scientific headquarters for bioelectronic medicine, an emerging field born in our laboratories that combines neuroscience, molecular medicine and bioengineering to tap into the nervous system in order to treat disease and injury without pharmaceuticals.
With labs and clinical trials located across Northwell Health’s 28 hospitals throughout New York and Connecticut, we are a cornerstone of the advanced care provided by Northwell—solving the health challenges of today and shaping a better tomorrow.
Our careers include opportunities in the fields of:
- Administration
- Biostatistics and data analytics
- Electrical Engineer
- Investigator
- Post Doc Research Trainee (RI)
- Research Scientist

Our research leaders
We are the home to five leading institutes in medical research—each with impressive track records of producing knowledge that cures disease and improves patients’ lives.
Led by Dr. John Kane
We are recognized as a world leader in research for effective treatments of debilitating mental health disorders. Our early treatment and comprehensive care programs for patients suffering from first-episode psychosis are national models of best practice research and care in the field.
Led by Dr. Yousef Al-Abed
Our mission as the global headquarters of bioelectronic medicine is to challenge traditional approaches to treatment by generating knowledge and expertise about tapping neural pathways to develop new technologies that provide safe, secure and efficient therapies with few adverse effects.
Led by Dr. Jeff Boyd
We research cancer and related aspects of cell biology to understand the abnormal growth and behavior of cells that have been malignantly transformed. This information is used to develop and test new diagnostics and treatments for patients suffering from several types of cancers.
Led by Dr. Thomas McGinn
Our research uses epidemiology, statistics and laboratory trials to uncover ways to improve how we deliver care. We examine all levels of healthcare delivery and contribute to developing clinical practice improvements, reducing disparities and healthcare costs.
Led by Dr. Betty Diamond
Our mission is to be a world leader in molecular medicine and the premier entity for the education of disease-focused molecular scientists by conducting outstanding, groundbreaking research directed at understanding molecular mechanisms of disease to promote cures.
