Suzanne Zukin Symposium 7/15/22 at LeFrak Auditorium, Price Center
The Dominick P. Purpura Department of Neuroscience will be holding a symposium celebrating Dr. Suzanne Zukin's scientific journey into Neuroscience: genes, epigenetics, glutamate receptors, neurons, and brain disorders.
Please join us at the Price Center, LeFrak Auditorium, Albert Einstein College of Medicine, Bronx, NY on 7/15/22. For those who cannot attend in person, a Zoom link is available upon request, please contact kevin.fisher@einsteinmed.edu.
