Bioengineering Collaborative at Einstein-Montefiore
|
|
On November 8th, Einstein-Montefiore hosted a workshop with the Stony Brook University College of Engineering and Applied Sciences (CEAS) entitled, "Engineering Driven Collaborative Initiative in Basic, Clinical, and Translational Research." Our goal was to bring together bioengineering and data science faculty from the Long Island university and Einstein-Montefiore researchers to spark new ideas and research projects. Two Einstein-Montefiore faculty gave the opening presentations
Steve Almo PhD
(Protein-based Technologies) and
Simone Sidoli PhD
(Five-Dimensional Mass Spectrometry to Study Proteome Modifications). Six CEAS-based scientists from Stony Brook presented their interests and the group was able to discuss potential research collaboration.
