We generate and share knowledge
Individual desires, skills, and talents differ.
We are committed to prepare and facilitate successful development of all laboratory members, colleagues, and friends.
By providing an honest and supportive work environment, we enable achievement of personal, scientific, and career goals.
Foster success
Diversity of background, thought, methodology, and opinion are fundamental to successful science.
We believe that diverse perspectives boost creativity and motivation and, therefore, consider an inclusive environment enriching and desirable.
We maintain a global network of friends and collaborators and continuously learn from the cultural richness that this brings to us. All members of the laboratory are committed to our inclusive and caring environment.
Many of us are first generation university graduates. What unites us is a passion for truthful discovery and excellence. We are constantly seeking better ways to achieve our goals.
Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion
The history of science and knowledge is rich. We consider and learn from the fundamental achievements that scientist have made in the past, both with regard to method and subject matter.
History
Work together
We aim to make meaningful contributions to biomedical knowledge.
Creativity, an environment of reciprocal learning, and constructive feedback are of fundamental importance.
We maintain a highly collaborative, energetic, open-minded, and constructive work environment.
Listen to patients
Patients and relatives ask highly relevant questions. We work on problems that are directly derived from clinical consultations.
Follow the data
We value reproducible experimental evidence. Analyses of high quality data are important to refine hypotheses and to advance theories. We aim to make what is important measurable.
Finding solutions for difficult problems requires innovation, imagination, and development of new methods.
We explore new ways to advance our knowledge using interdisciplinary research and advanced statistical analyses of large data.
Innovate
“Demerec has been a remarkable building—arguably one of the most productive buildings in all of science,” said CSHL President Bruce Stillman, who first started researching the secrets of DNA replication within Demerec’s walls in 1979. “Since it was built, four scientists have done work in that building that led to their receiving their Nobel Prize.”
