Bio:
Lee Cohen-Gould has been a Core Director at Weill Cornell Medicine since 1988, when it was dedicated to electron microscopy.  In the intervening years, the Core has expanded to include many many modes of optical microscopy.  Within the Core, her emphasis is on training faculty, post-docs, students and staff in the proper use of our laser scanning confocal microscopes, the core's wide field fluorescence microscopes and transmission electron microscope.  She also provides consultation on sample prep for TEM & SEM and histology samples.

Bio:
My studies are focused on gaining further insight into the bilayer-regulated mechanism and teasing apart the specific and general mechanism of membrane with the aim of elucidating the role of cell membrane in the membrane protein regulation by lipophilic drugs and thereby provide insight into the mechanism/s underlying multi- and off-target effects of lipophilic drugs.In my role as the Molecular Biophysics Core director I supports users in broad range of instruments and tools to express and functionally and biophysically characterize proteins, lipid/protein, lipid and other assemblies. The core serves the research community in four key ways:· training to empower independent equipment use and data interpretation· experimental design· assisted use in when core staff expertise is required· accessory equipment to support the community needs during routine lab operation interruptionsA list of our services can be found here.
