About Center for Discovery & Innovation

  • The Hackensack Meridian Center for Discovery & Innovation (CDI) is located approximately 10 miles from New York City on the former historic Hoffman La Roche campus in Nutley, NJ, adjoins the new HMH School of Medicine.
  • CDI emphasizes basic, translational and clinical research addressing unmet medical needs in cancer, infectious diseases, and restorative health. The CDI’s 21 principal investigator laboratories and a staff of about 155 scientists and support personnel are supported by numerous core facilities for flow cytometry, microscopy, biosafety level 3 labs, as well as an extensive AAALAC accredited animal facility.
  • CDI’s Board of Directors is chaired by Sol Barer (founder of Celgene and Chairman of the Board for Teva Pharmaceuticals). The CDI is closely linked to the John Theurer Cancer Center (JTCC) at Hackensack University Medical Center, which is one of the highest oncology patient volume centers in the country, particularly for hematological malignancies. JTCC is now officially NCI-designated as part of the Georgetown Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center.
  • The JTCC has large programs in multiple myeloma, lymphoma, leukemia and hematopoietic cell transplantation.
  • The CDI seeks to recruit several scientists, at all levels, to continue to build strength in cancer, infectious disease and restorative health research and to create a collegial and scientifically robust research environment with a high level of interaction with our clinicians.
