The Weill Cornell Graduate School of Medical Sciences has been awarded a competitive grant from the National Institutes of Health to launch a program dedicated to increasing the number and enhancing the success of doctoral students from underrepresented backgrounds.

In an age of overabundant and accessible information, when evidence-based research is devalued, how can scientists and journalists work in concert to rightfully inform the public of medical progress?

A leading scientist and immunologist, Dr. Gary Koretzky has been appointed vice dean, focused on academic integration at Cornell University and Weill Cornell Medicine, effective July 1. Dr. Carl Nathan will succeed Dr. Koretzky as dean of the Weill Cornell Graduate School of Medical Sciences, effective Sept. 1.

More Ph.D. students are pondering a wide range of careers — and the Weill Cornell Graduate School of Medical Sciences is helping them get there.
