Louis and Beatrice Laufer Center
The Laufer Center for Physical and Quantitative Biology was established in 2008 in loving memory of Louis and Beatrice Laufer by their children, Helen Laufer Kaplan and Howard Kaplan, Jeffrey and Barbara Laufer, and Henry and Marsha Laufer. Initiated with a major philanthropic gift, the Center supports three endowed professorships. The Center aims to play a central role in the Stony Brook Collaborative Research Alliance (Stony Brook University, Brookhaven National Laboratory, and Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory). Laboratories and offices for Center faculty and students will be located in a newly remodeled building near the Life Sciences Center on the campus of Stony Brook University upon completion in late 2011. The Laufer Center officially began operation on October 1, 2010, with Ken A. Dill as Director and Carlos Simmerling as Associate Director.
