Upcoming Events:
The Einstein-Montefiore Presidential Lecture on Wednesday,
June 15, 2022, at 4:30 p.m., in Robbins Auditorium.
After a two-year, pandemic-induced hiatus, we are happy to
invite you to attend this year’s Einstein-Montefiore
Presidential Lecture on Wednesday, June 15, 2022, at 4:30 p.m.,
in Robbins Auditorium.
The lecture, which was established in 2017, hosts presentations by two faculty
members who together represent outstanding examples of the full spectrum of
research at Einstein and Montefiore, highlighting its excellence.
This year’s lecturers will be Ulrich “Uli” Steidl, M.D., Ph.D., and
Amit Verma, M.B.B.S. Over the past decade, these longtime colleagues have
coauthored several dozen peer-reviewed papers published in high-quality
journals, adding immensely to the understanding of two closely intertwined
diseases: myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) and acute myeloid leukemia (AML).
The duo was among the first researchers to demonstrate that MDS, a common
precursor of AML, arises from wayward bone-marrow stem cells, raising hopes for
treating or preventing both diseases. An article, “Collaborating
to Cure Cancers” in the Summer/Fall 2019 issue of Einstein magazine,
details their complementary skills and collaborative efforts.
Seeds for Collaboration
“Seeds
for Collaboration” is a faculty mixer held monthly during the academic
year. The goal is to stimulate discourse that will ultimately result in
inter-institutional collaborations, discoveries, publications and grant
applications. At each event faculty mingle for half an hour and then
three 5 minutes talks are presented – one slide per speaker and
discussion amongst all after the three speakers have finished. All
faculty are invited by email and announcements are posted on the
academic calendar, and on posters and in the elevators. “Seeds” provides
basic science, translational, and clinical faculty alike an opportunity
to share their research interests and directions and to attract
collaborators in an informal, social environment. 
Pathways to Success at the Einstein Cores
"Pathways to Success at the Einstein Cores" is a seminar series aimed highlighting the activities of the Einstein Cores, and how they have contributed to research success of investigators. The Cores Scientific and Operations Director will provide an overview of the services of the Core followed by presentation by investigators describing how the Cores contributed to their research.
