The Weill Institute for Cell and Molecular Biology is delighted to announce our eighth Weill Institute Symposium, at Cornell University in Ithaca, NY.

 These Symposia bring together scientists from different disciplines across the Cornell life sciences community. They provide our students and postdocs with opportunities to meet leading scientists from around the world and hear presentations on cutting edge research. A broad range of topics covering some of the most exciting and timely discoveries in cell and molecular biology and related fields will be presented.

Since its establishment in 2008, the Weill Institute has thrived as an interdisciplinary hub of life science research. The Institute was endowed through a generous gift by Joan and Sanford Weill, with a vision to create a vibrant center of scientific excellence in basic biology integrated with Cornell’s existing, outstanding programs in chemistry and chemical biology, physics, plant biology, computational biology, and engineering. We have sought to establish an environment that encourages novel research and the transfer of ideas and technology.
