The Albert Einstein College of Medicine (Einstein) is one of the nation's
premier institutions for medical education, basic research and clinical
investigation. A full-time faculty of more than 2,000 teaches, delivers
health care and conducts research in every major biomedical specialty. There
are about 225 research groups supported by about $190 million dollars in NIH
research grant support in which students can perform their Ph.D. thesis
