Yale’s Associate Vice President For New Haven Affairs Holds Q&A Session
She discussed the interdependence of Yale and New Haven, Yale University's investment in the city's next generation and more.
Study in US: Alexandra Daum, Yale's associate vice president for New Haven Affairs and University Properties participated in a Q&A session, where she was asked significant questions, which she answered.
While replying on - what makes the Yale-New Haven collaboration unique and what is the strength of each of the partners, she replied, "When I think about the partnership — physically, the campus and the city — they’re inextricably linked, and each one makes the other one even greater than it would be without the other. You could take Yale and put it in the middle of a field somewhere, and it would still be a beautiful campus, but you get to the edge of the beauty of Yale where we are now and you’re looking at this amazing, historic, walkable, livable city. If you think about Chapel Street — it seamlessly flows into our campus, but it’s not campus. Chapel Street was here before Yale was here. New Haven’s grid of nine squares was here before Yale. We can’t forget that Yale couldn’t plop down somewhere else and be as wonderful, as a physical place, as it is."
On the recent milestone, she said, "One major highlight has been the completion of 101 College Street, which is a private project but one in which Yale had a catalyzing role. Yale took early leases in the space, which enabled the developer to get confident enough to break ground. And that building, in addition to adding to the cityscape, holds a lot of benefits — it’s a great example of the creative, public-private partnerships that Yale can participate in for the benefit of both the university and New Haven."

Yale and New Haven have worked in partnership for over three centuries, and each of the partners has grown and evolved over this period. The partnership was revived in 2021 for a six-year agreement to lay the groundwork for the Center for Inclusive Growth and increase Yale’s voluntary financial contribution.
Yale Novel Tool Identifies Mutations In Mitochondrial DNA
Yale study has offered geneticists a long-needed tool to identify which mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) mutations create disease.
Lake, an assistant professor of genetics at Yale School of Medicine (YSM) and the Yale Center of Genomic Health said, “We had few tools to help us identify disease-causing mutations in the mtDNA. While there are dozens available for the nuclear genome, this tool for the first time is providing a map of which sites in the mitochondrial genome are most important for health and disease.”
