About
Mount Sinai’s mission is to radically advance biomedical science and healthcare through scholarly inquiry, collaborative learning, and humanism. To promote this work, please join us for our new early evening Dean’s Select Seminar Series. Each event will feature a ~40 minute presentation by a leading member of the Mount Sinai faculty or occasionally an invited guest, followed by a reception to provide opportunities to connect with the speaker, Mount Sinai leadership, and your colleagues. Musicians from the Mount Sinai family will perform. Please join us for this new way to engage with our One Mount Sinai community.
