Weill Institute for Cell and Molecular Biology

The Weill Institute consists of twelve faculty-led teams, appointed in several life sciences departments within Cornell University.

The "cornerstone" of the University's $650 million New Life Sciences Initiative, the Institute is intended to foster multidisciplinary, collaborative research efforts toward answering fundamental questions in cell and molecular biology.

Weill Hall was designed by world-renowned architect and Cornell alumnus Richard Meier.

[4] Emr is perhaps best known for his identification of the ESCRT (endosomal sorting complex required for transport) protein machinery.

It has also been found to play a vital role in cell division and the viral budding of HIV.
