Declaration Celebration

16th Annual Declaration Celebration

About the event

education/phd/current-students/events/declaration-celebration.aspx During the first year, graduate students at Einstein participate in several laboratory rotations that allow them to explore their particular research interests while taking advantage of the breadth of science at Einstein. At the end of the first year, students declare the laboratory of their choice. This laboratory is where they will perform their doctoral thesis research, eventually culminating in the Ph.D. in Biomedical Sciences.

Please join us as we celebrate with the mentors and PhD & MD/PhD students who have recently declared their labs and started their thesis research.

Open to all Einstein students, staff, and faculty
