The Public Health Research Institute[1][2] (PHRI) was founded in 1942[3] by New York City's mayor, Fiorello La Guardia, who appointed David M. Heyman to lead it as an independent not-for-profit research organization. In the late 1980s it was referred to as Public Health Research Institute - New York In 2002, they moved to Newark, New Jersey. PHRI became part of the New Jersey Medical School in 2006 and since 2013 it has been part at Rutgers University.[4][5]
Their mission is still, as stated in the institute's first annual report, to serve "pressing demands of a large population" as "a vast manufacturing and dignostic enterprise."[6] Dr. Ralph Muckenfuss, director of the Bureau of Laboratories of the Department of Health, was designated as director of the Institute during the war[7] period.
