The research laboratories at Einstein provide an outstanding training environment for graduate and postdoctoral researchers. Based on the high quality of the individual labs, Einstein faculty last year obtained more than $152 million in peer-reviewed research grants from the National Institutes of Health (NIH). Thus, there are more than 200 labs with interests ranging from theoretical chemistry to human behavior and cognition in which students can conduct their Ph.D. thesis research. Enriching the training environment is the strong collaborative and interdisciplinary atmosphere that characterizes research at Einstein and is encouraged by the Administration. The College has created many Shared Scientific Facilities such as the Analytical Imaging Facility with a wide array of light and electron microscopes, the Microarray Facility, Gene Targeting Facility and the Proteomics Core to name a few. These shared facilities allow research projects to rapidly incorporate new technologies and as projects require it they provide immediate access to new experimental approaches that might not be available in a given lab. In addition, while Einstein maintains a traditional departmental structure, numerous cross-departmental research centers have been created to encourage interdisciplinary research. Six major Einstein programs have been designated NIH “Centers of Excellence:” the Albert Einstein Cancer Center, the Center for Aids Research, the Brain and Neuroscience Center, the Diabetes Center, the Sickle Cell Center and the Liver Research Center. As Einstein grows to meet the challenges of the 21st century it has created The Price Center for Genetic and Translational Medicine. This Center will be housed in the 200,000 sq ft Harold and Muriel Block Research Pavilion, currently under construction and scheduled for completion in January 2008. These research centers are integrated with the College’s education and training programs, providing the opportunity for students to train in a stimulating environment that reflects the dramatic changing nature of medicine as it advances into the 21st century.
