NEW YORK (WKOW) — Researchers at NYU Medical Center try to save years of research into heart disease, cancer and other diseases as well as priceless lab specimens that were put in jeopardy by Hurricane Sandy. NYU Medical Center lost power shortly after Sandy hit Monday night. Back-up generators failed and the Manhattan hospital evacuated 300 patients on Monday. Cells, tissues and animals used for medical research were left to die in failing refrigerators, freezers and incubators.
