Hope through Rehabilitation & Research

The Burke Medical Research Institute is a research enterprise that works in partnership with the Burke Rehabilitation Hospital and the Weill Cornell Medical College to develop new therapeutic approaches to a host of impairments that cause disability including paralysis, sensory loss, language problems and dementia.

The Institute's scientists are exploring the frontiers of rehabilitation research and striving to make scientific discoveries that will better the lives of those suffering from disability stemming from injury or illness.
