Department of Molecular Pharmacology

The Department of Molecular Pharmacology at Einstein focuses on cellular signaling, cancer metastasis, transcriptional regulation, mRNA translation control, drug action and resistance, and neuronal pathophysiology.

Our faculty has strong ties to the Montefiore Einstein Comprehensive Cancer Center, the Diabetes Center, as well as the Institute for Aging Research, the Stem Cell Institute, and the Institute of Cancer Dormancy and Tumor Microenvironment. Graduate study in the department covers a wide range of approaches, including genetic studies in flies, worms, and mice, genome-wide studies of chromatin and gene expression, advanced quantitative imaging, biochemical studies on purified enzymes, and studies using animal models and human-derived specimens.
