Education: Postdoctoral and Visiting Scientists

The Wadsworth Center, a research-intensive public health laboratory, provides a unique and dynamic training environment. Basic and applied research at Wadsworth focuses on molecular genetics, structural and cell biology, neuroscience, immunology and infectious disease, endocrinology, biological imaging, and environmental science. Enhancing this environment are state-of-the-art core facilities; an NIH-supported national biotechnical Resource for the Visualization of Biological Complexity (RVBC); broad-based graduate programs in the biomedical and environmental sciences with the University at Albany, State University of New York; and new initiatives in bioinformatics, genomics, nanobiotechnology, and biodefense. The Ordway Research Institute, a nonprofit biomedical research corporation, has been established in affiliation with Wadsworth to expand biotechnology and to broaden and promote basic and translational research.
