Lankenau Institute for Medical Research Department Head - James M. Mullin, PhD
The Lankenau Institute for Medical Research is located on the same campus as Lankenau Hospital. The Institute offers the opportunity
for training in basic and clinical research of NIH funded projects, generating on average more than 40 peer-reviewed publications
per year. Traversing sixteen research groups, current investigations include the following areas: smooth muscle and endothelial
vascular biology, cardiac electrophysiology, neurodegenerative processes, muscle development biology, cell adhesion, stem
cell biology, mouse genomics, DNA repair mechanisms, skin cancer, programmed cell death, gastrointestinal physiology, cancer
prostate cancer and the molecular mechanisms of aging. More information on these programs and investigators may be obtained
from the Institute website: www.limr.org. Students will work closely with the principal investigators on any number of projects with participation possibly eventually
leading to a co-authorship on a publication.
