The Columbia University Department of Pathology and Cell Biology represents a recent merger of Pathology and Anatomy and Cell Biology. Each department has had a long-standing interest in the biology of the cell, with a particularly distinguished tradition in neurobiology, cell migration and division, and membrane dynamics. The Division of Cell and Molecular Biology is located within the merged department in the Physicians and Surgeons Building. In addition to the core of cell biologists at this site, there is a more extensive and highly interactive cell biology community in the department's Cancer Institute and throughout Columbia, as listed below.
