David P. Hajjar, Ph.D. Dean

Dear Prospective Student:

Weill Cornell Graduate School of Medical Sciences was founded on the concept that the convergence of two premier institutions -- Sloan-Kettering Institute, and Weill Cornell Medical College -- could offer an extraordinary research and training ground for future generations of biomedical researchers.

Our graduate school is integrated within a world-class medical center and is therefore unique amongst our peer institutions. Our superb graduate school faculty is committed to providing an intellectually challenging environment and outstanding training, with mentoring as a top priority. We pride ourselves in training the future leaders in basic and translational science -- scientists who will lead the way in the twenty-first century in identifying cures for diseases.

I invite you to explore our Web site, learn about our many programs, and acquaint yourselves with our superb faculty. Our wont is to pursue new pathways to discovery. Join us in this journey.
