Students do their dissertation research in the laboratories of both NIH and NYU researchers who have a strong interest in structural biology, including such areas as X-ray crystallography, electron microscopy, magnetic resonance imaging, mass spectrometry, and computational methods. A full description of the program can be found at http://saturn.med.nyu.edu/programs/sb/Sackler/. Currently, there are more than 40 faculty members in the program. For details about specific NIH and NYU researchers, respectively, students should visit the Web sites http://gpp.nih.gov/ or http://saturn.med.nyu.edu/programs/sb/Sackler/Faculty.html.   Listed below is a representative sample of structural biologists at NYU and NIH but there are many more investigators at NIH also doing structural biology-related research.
