Nobel Laureates

In 1997, Queens College recruited future Nobel laureate and co-discoverer of the human immunodeficiency virus Luc Montagnier, appointing him to an endowed professorship. Montagnier was subsequently added to the faculty of the Graduate Center in the department of biology.

In 2015, the Graduate Center recruited Nobel laureate Paul Krugman to the faculty. Krugman joined the faculty on a dual appointment, both to the university's Ph.D. program in economics and as a distinguished scholar at the Graduate Center's Stone Center on Socio-Economic Inequality. At the Stone Center, Krugman's colleagues include political scientist and sociologist Janet Gornick as well as economist Branko Milanovic.
