Welcome to Miyoun Hong, who is enrolled in the Master of Science in Biology program at NYU. Miyoun plans to be with us until the fall of 2010.
Our History
The Pediatric Cardiology Molecular and Cellular Research Laboratories came into being in 1995 when Michael Artman (now the Pediatrics Chairman at the University of Iowa) and William Coetzee opened their first shared laboratory in Tisch Hospital (Tisch 501 – now part of the cath lab). Over the years, they collaborated on several projects and also independently built their own research programs. Other faculty that was part of this venture over the years include Dr Tomoe Nishitani (now Associate Professor at the National Cardiovascular Institute, Osaka, Japan), Dr Ying-Ying Zhou (now with Schering-Plough Research Institute, New Jersey) and Dr Eric Sobie (now at Mt Sinai School of Medicine). Our laboratories have been renovated and consolidated into a single biochemistry suite (Tisch 521) and an electrophysiology suite (Tisch 521), which are shared by other individuals, including Drs Colin Phoon, Ed Skolnik and Stefan Feske.
