Tri-I TDI makes modeling software available. The Tri-Institutional Therapeutics Discovery Institute, Inc. (Tri-I TDI) has signed an agreement to provide access to Schrödinger’s materials science, biologics and small‑molecule drug discovery suites to researchers within Tri-I TDI’s member institutions. The software simulation tools, which perform virtual screening, analyze potential compounds for suitability and model chemical systems, are designed to advance early-stage research toward new therapeutics. The contract includes open access to key industry-leading tools of drug discovery as well as training. For more information, visit www.tritdi.org/schrodinger.

Bicycle infrastructure is upgraded. To better accommodate the university’s 189 registered bicyclists, new bicycle racks have been installed by the Greenberg building and near Bronk, and two bicycle repair stations have been purchased. The repair stations feature air pumps and hand tools suitable for making adjustments and minor repairs. They are located under the tennis court and near the entrance to Gasser Hall.

Medallions go up on the street. As part of an ongoing campaign to improve signage and raise awareness of the university’s mission in the neighborhood, medallions bearing the university’s seal have been installed near 63rd and 68th Streets. The medallions, along with larger and more visible signs, will better identify the campus to passersby, especially patients of NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital and drivers entering and exiting the FDR.
