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.

I had the privilege of being under the care of Dr. Larissa Rodriguez, and my experience from the initial consultation through surgery, and one year of follow up has been exceptional. Dr. Rodriguez demonstrated remarkable knowledge, skill, and professionalism throughout every stage of my care. She provided a thorough and clear explanation of my condition, outlining the diagnosis, treatment options and possible outcomes with great detail and understanding. Her ability to communicate complex medical information in a way that was easy to understand made me feel confident and informed in my decisions. Dr. Rodriguez's surgical expertise and compassionate approach truly set her apart. She is patient, attentive, and dedicated to achieving the best possible results for her patients. Her entire team both in office and surgical setting for their professionalism, efficiency, and kindness. Their coordinated efforts and attention to detail made my experience seamless and reassuring. I am deeply grateful for the exceptional care I received, and highly recommend Dr. Rodriguez and her staff to anyone seeking outstanding medical treatment and patient within her Center care. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Thanks🌸Flor-------- Thanks again Samanta, Flor
My consultation with Dr Mehta was a great experience. He has a comforting bed side manner and is spot on with my condition. He listened to my concerns and gave me sound medical advise. I feel very confident in Dr Mehta's course of treatment for me.
I was so extremely impressed with Dr Mehta. After meeting with him before my procedure I was so fully aware of my situation and it was such a relief to understand it all. He is very intelligent, patient and well spoken. I am so grateful for him. After the procedure I felt great and have had no pain! Thank you Dr Mehta!
