Read about upcoming changes to UnitedHealthcare coverage.
Since 1898, the department's focus has evolved from the study of human anatomy, to the elucidation of subcellular structure, to the analysis of processes that regulate dynamic cell function and differentiation. A major expansion begun in 2002 has tripled the number of full-time faculty and graduate students, and more than doubled the number of postdoctoral associates.
The research interests of the faculty reflect the disparate challenges that confront biomedical science today. Several labs focus on fundamental processes in cell biology that relate to the function of oncogenes, the dynamic regulation of molecular motors, patterns of vesicular trafficking, modulation of cytoskeletal organization, establishment of cell polarity, and the control of cell surface proteolysis. Others address developmental mechanisms connected to germ cell differentiation, transcriptional repression, gene regulatory networks, tubulogenesis, myogenesis, angiogenesis, and patterning of skeletal, hematopoietic, and central nervous system tissues. This diverse "menu" offers unique opportunities for graduate trainees and postdoctoral fellows to develop an integrated approach to questions in cell and developmental biology.
In addition to mentoring students in their labs, faculty members teach in the basic sciences in both the Weill Cornell Medical College and the Weill Graduate School of Medical Sciences. The Department also sponsors a biweekly seminar series, a bimonthly Frontiers in Science research conference, and an annual graduate program retreat. A center-wide Program in Angiogenesis hosted by the Department provides a model for seamless integration that transcends traditional departmental boundaries and capitalizes on the Medical Center's broad scientific expertise.

Very attentive clearly superb doctor and very helpful. Excellent office prompt appointment. Good follow up.
A sharp, caring doctor. Dr Mehta stays up to date on the latest procedures. Everyone at Weill Cornell pain medicine seems outstanding.
My experience was great in a sense that everyone in the preparation room knew my name knew why I was there and he and Dr Jawani start talking made me feel very relaxed even though I was scared he talked me through everything that he was doing and I was very I was very pleased when the procedure was over and he just told me to sit there sit up and help me up and told me to take my time when I'm ready to leave that exam table he did not treat me like a piece of meat I will recommend him to everybody actually I really did okay that's it.
