- Paul Greengard
Dr. Greengard's interests have ranged from basic neural explorations to the development of therapeutic agents for the treatment of neurological and psychiatric diseases. His quest has significantly advanced scientific understanding of the molecular basis of nerve-cell communication. In 2000, he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for his contributions to elucidating how neurotransmitters work in signal transduction in the nervous system. *

- Erich Jarvis
When he was eighteen years old, Erich Jarvis stood at a crossroads: should he be a professional dancer or a scientist? Very different directions, clearly, and Jarvis' choice - to go to college and pursue a scientific education - led him on the path towards becoming one of today's brightest young stars in the field of neurobiology. Not only is Erich Jarvis ' personal story compelling, but his dedication, perseverance, and enthusiasm for his field of science is also truly inspiring.
- Haldan Keffer Hartline
Haldan Keffer Hartline (December 22, 1903 - March 17, 1983) was an American physiologist who was a cowinner (with George Wald and Ragnar Granit) of the 1967 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for his work in analyzing the neurophysiological mechanisms of vision. Hartline began his study of retinal electrophysiology as a National Research Council Fellow at Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, receiving his M.D. in 1927.
- Fernando Nottebohm
Dr Fernando Nottebohm is a preeminent neuroscientist and is the Dorothea L. Leonhardt Professor and Head of the Laboratory of Animal Behavior and Director of the Field Research Center for Ecology and Ethology at Rockefeller University. While his contributions to neuroscience are vast, he is most famous for providing definitive proof that neurogenesis occurs in the vertebrate brain, a notion that was considered impossible by most scientists beforehand.
- Jan L. Breslow
Jan L. Breslow , Professor and Laboratory Head at The Rockefeller University. Dr. Breslow is very well known for his use of molecular genetic technologies in pioneering basic and clinical studies of the genetic and environmental causes of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. His laboratory has uncovered a number of human genetic variations that increase the risk of atherosclerotic disease.
- Jesse Ausubel
Jesse H. Ausubel is a Program Director for the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation in New York City and Director of the Program for the Human Environment at The Rockefeller University . He both performs and manages research. Mr. Ausubel joined the Sloan Foundation in 1994, where his main responsibility is for programs in basic sciences. Mr. Ausubel spent the first decade of his career in Washington DC working for the National Academy of Sciences (NAS) and National Academy of Engineering.
- Martin Yarmush
- Jeffrey M. Friedman
Biographical sketch: Dr. Friedman is a leading researcher on the molecular mechanisms regulating food intake and body weight. His work received national attention when his group isolated the mouse ob gene and its human homologue in 1994. Dr. Friedman's team subsequently discovered that injections of the encoded protein, leptin, decreased body weight of mice by reducing food intake and increasing energy expenditure.

i'm a wannabe biologist (so far a very confused one). i'll eat just about anything covered in sugar or salt, and i get hyperactive and overly excitable when i'm in a good mood, so people confuse that with a sugar rush and think i'm an addict. they're wrong!.. or maybe i'm just in denial. i like furry animals but am not responsible enough to have one of my own. i have bit of a glute fixation... i love big butts and i cannot lie!!!

"That's my Middle West--not the wheat or the prairies or the lost Swede towns, but the thrilling returning trains of my youth, and the street lamps and sleigh bells in the frosty dark and the shadows of holly wreaths thrown by lighted windows on the snow. I am part of that, a little solemn with the feel of those long winters, a little complacent from growing up in the Carraway house in a city where dwellings are still called through decades by a family's name.
- Ravi Tolwani

In my mind i am whitty charming and the best damn person around. In reality i am nice friendly and down to earth. Either way both seem comprable. I think this where i should rant and rave about my life and my experiences and what ever else comes to mind, but i don't have enough time or energy to write about all of that. So here are the basics I am now living in NYC enjoying everything the city life has to offer and learning new ways to cope with hangovers.

So close to being done with grad school it's going to kill me.. well it hasn't yet. I've been living in Hoboken for close to 2 years now, perpetually working and going to school. It's a great life. There is so much to do and I cannot wait for the day when homework does not trump happy hour. I love to travel. I studied abroad in Thailand for 6 months.
