To fulfill the promise of the New Life Sciences Initiative, Cornell will need to recruit 100 new faculty in genomics and other strategically targeted areas.

The new faculty will complement the world-class researchers and teachers already at Cornell and help us to develop emerging life sciences academic programs holding enormous potential.

In addition, new graduate fellowships in the life sciences will help us to attract the very best graduate students. These fellowships will support training for the next generation of life sciences researchers.

Dynamic faculty skilled in the thinking and interdisciplinary techniques of new life sciences research. Talented graduate students learning to work successfully at the interface of the physical and biological sciences. These are people Cornell needs to ensure the success of the initiative and its future as a leader in life sciences research.
