Faculty

The Department of Cell Biology at Yale Medical School has, since its inception in 1974, been exceptionally active and well-recognized both in education and in research.  While the original research focus on cellular membranes and their functions remains strong, the department has also expanded its focus significantly in recent years. Our department currently includes major activities in neurobiology, developmental biology, nuclear structure and dynamics, the cytoskeleton, cellular imaging, structural biology, molecular biology and molecular medicine. By pooling together the broad expertise available at Yale with the specific strengths of its own faculty, the Department offers graduate and medical students broad and comprehensive training.
