Presentation on Research and Academic Opportunities at The Rockefeller University

For students interested in a Ph.D. in Biological Science, Computational Biology, Chemical Biology, or an M.D./Ph.D:

Sidney Strickland, Ph.D.
Professor and Dean
The Rockefeller University
New York, New York

will give a short presentation describing the research and academic opportunities offered by the graduate program at The Rockefeller University. Rockefeller is a distinguished research University situated on the Upper East Side of Manhattan in New York City. Many fundamental discoveries about biology have been made there (for example, that DNA is the hereditary material, that viruses can cause cancer, that protein sorting in the cell relies on peptide signals in the proteins). The presentation will highlight the history and current research in these areas, and describe features of their unique graduate program.

Pizza and soft drinks will be provided

Wednesday, November 1, 2000
Vagelos Building (IAST), Room 2000
