Gift to Support Lab Collaboration

 

“A pair of Rockefeller University scientists will forever be honored with a new professorship, designed to pay tribute to the spirit of collaboration and mentoring. It was 1970 when Ralph M. Steinman came to Rockefeller University to be a postdoc in the lab of Zanvil A. Cohn. It was in those first few years of research on how an immune response is triggered in the human body, that the men came to identify a novel cell type. They coined the term dendritic cells.”
