Over the last 10 years, New York Institute of Technology has made significant strides in developing its research programs, with the goal of becoming one of the top research institutions in the United States.
Recent signs of this transformation include the school’s new Ph.D. program in chemistry that launched in the fall of 2025, an anatomy program coming online in the next year, as well as new lab spaces and cutting-edge equipment and facilities.
“At New York Tech, we have always been a teaching school, empowering our students so they can achieve their dream careers. And now, because of our emphasis on research, students can also explore new career paths that they otherwise may not have had,” says Jerry Balentine, D.O., president of New York Tech.
New York Institute of Technology Magazine recently caught up with three Ph.D. students in the engineering, osteopathic medicine/medical and biological sciences (D.O./Ph.D.), and chemistry programs to hear about their important and groundbreaking work and how they have benefited from New York Tech’s commitment to research.
