New Institute of Cell and Molecular Biology on Cornell campus
Director Scott Emr envisions a center that applies all the major disciplines within the life sciences, such as genetics, molecular biology and biochemistry, to the workings of the cell itself. Emr, who will take charge in February 2007, is currently professor of cellular and molecular medicine at the University of California-San Diego School of Medicine and an investigator with the Howard Hughes Medical Institute.
The institute is being planned as an interdisciplinary center that links cell biology and the physical sciences, and in which physics, chemistry, applied engineering, chemical engineering, computational sciences and the newest technologies might be used to advance human understanding of the cell.
