<title>After years of tumult, big questions remain at Trudeau Institute</title>
<link>http://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/19812/20120511/after-years-of-tumult-big-questions-remain-at-trudeau-institute</link>
<description><![CDATA[ (May 11, 2012) Today we conclude our two part investigative series on Trudeau Institute in Saranac Lake with a look at the Institute’s future.It has been a year and a half since Trudeau’s Board of Trustees voted to keep the 128-year-old biomedical research laboratory in Saranac Lake.They rejected a plan negotiated in secret that would have moved the institute to a research park under development in Florida.Since then, the institute has faced budgets cuts, layoffs and the departure of key research teams.  The lab has been without a director for nearly a year.Sources at the lab, and internal documents, suggest that Trudeau has reached a tipping point.  The institute&apos;s survival may hinge on whether it can adapt to a changing funding and scientific climate.As Chris Knight reports, Trudeau officials say they have a long-term vision, but questions and doubts remain.Editor’s note: How viable is Trudeau Institute in Saranac Lake, and how bad is morale, really? Those are some questions prompted by Chris Knight and Brian Mann’s two-part investigative series, and the reporters are working on stories to expand on those topics. They have documentation, such as an April 2011 staff satisfaction survey and studies recommending relocation and comparing sites, but they want to hear from more people inside and outside Trudeau. If you have something to say, contact Mann at brian@ncpr.org or Knight atcknight@adirondackdailyenterprise.com or 518-891-2600 ext. 24.

<title>Secret effort to move Trudeau Institute from Saranac Lake began in 2008</title>
<link>http://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/19808/20120510/secret-effort-to-move-trudeau-institute-from-saranac-lake-began-in-2008</link>
<description><![CDATA[ (May 10, 2012) Top executives and board members at Trudeau Institute in Saranac Lake worked in secret for more than two years in an effort to move the research laboratory to a new site in Florida. That’s according to an investigation by North Country Public Radio and the Adirondack Daily Enterprise.  The relocation would have shifted more than a hundred high paying jobs from Saranac Lake, a move that state officials in New York say would have been “devastating” to the local economy. As Brian Mann reports, top officials at Trudeau also worked to keep the effort secret, even from members of the lab’s own board of directors.

<title>Trudeau Institute board member wins Nobel—Three days after his death</title>
<link>http://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/18529/20111004/trudeau-institute-board-member-wins-nobel-three-days-after-his-death</link>
<description><![CDATA[ (Oct 4, 2011) A pioneering researcher and long-time board member of the Saranac Lake-based biomedical research center the Trudeau Institute, was awarded the Nobel Prize in medicine Monday—three days after his death from pancreatic cancer. The Nobel committee says it didn’t know Canadian-born cell biologist Ralph Steinman had died when it awarded the prize to him and two other scientists. The committee is only supposed to consider living scientists—but it said Monday the decision to award Steinman the prize will remain unchanged.Steinman served on the Trudeau Institute board of trustees for nearly 30 years. As Chris Knight reports, those who knew Steinman describe him as a brilliant scientist who blazed new trails in the field of immunology.
