Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
Fort Pitt Bridge

Located in the heart of Pittsburgh’s healthcare corridor, the Biomedical Science Tower 3 (BST3) was designed to house a paradigm-shifting working model for biomedical research. Within the walls of this 10-story, 330,000 square foot facility, world-class scientists from an array of disciplines are able to pool their expertise, extend the reach of their individual resources, and participate in discoveries that advance scientific understanding.

The BST3 was engineered to facilitate coordinated research in the areas of neurosciences, vaccine development, regenerative medicine and biomedical devices, and basic science disciplines. The facility is outfitted with open labs, procedure rooms, conference areas, and office spaces. This integrated design fosters interaction among investigators and provides an unparalleled learning environment for postdoctoral fellows, graduate students, and undergraduates.

In addition to housing some of the world’s most accomplished medical researchers, the BST3 facilities refine and strengthen the synergies among the University; the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center; and scientific, educational, and biotechnology organizations through out Western Pennsylvania.

Explore the links below to learn more about the cutting-edge research that is being conducted within the walls of the BST3.

he Gothic Revival skyscraper that Pitt Chancellor John G. Bowman commissioned in 1921 inspired local industries to donate steel, cement, elevators, glass, plumbing, and heating elements. Thousands of adults today still have the certificates they received as school children upon contributing 10 cents to “’buy a brick” for the Cathedral.

In addition to its magnificent four-story Commons Room at ground level, the 42-story Cathedral houses classrooms (including the internationally renowned Nationality Classrooms) academic and administrative offices, libraries, computer labs, a theater, a print shop, and a food court.

In 2007, on the 70th anniversary of the Cathedral’s dedication, Pitt trustees approved a project to clean and restore the iconic building. Its interior has since been upgraded and its limestone exterior scrubbed of industrial grime.

A landmark listed in the National Register of Historic Places, the 535-foot-tall Cathedral is the second-tallest educational building in the world after the University of Moscow’s main building. In recent years, families of peregrine falcons have nested atop the Cathedral.

AAIC ( Alzheimer's Association International Conference ). The Alzheimer’s Association International Conference is the largest and most influential international meeting dedicated to advancing dementia science. Each year, AAIC convenes the world’s leading basic scientists, clinical researchers, early career investigators, clinicians and the care research community to share breaking research discoveries that will lead to methods of prevention and treatment and improvements in diagnosis for Alzheimer’s disease.
