Albert Einstein College of Medicine
| Training Program in Cellular and Molecular Biology and Genetics Supported by National Institutes of Health Grant |
|
The 63 faculty who participate as trainers for the
program in cellular and molecular biology and genetics have interests in
a broadly defined core of modern molecular biology/ biotechnology.
Follow the links to areas of interest to identify faculty participating
in this program and to browse their home pages for research details. Note that faculty interests don't necessarily match their department affiliation. There are no boundaries at Einstein!. Choose an area of interest or browse. |
