The New York Center for Bioethics offers comprehensive programs for students and professionals interested in bioethics, focusing on ethical issues in healthcare and policy. Einstein's medical education emphasizes a balance of scientific rigor and compassionate care, with various graduate programs available to develop future physician-scientists. Research highlights include a new vaccine candidate for herpes simplex virus that shows promise in animal models.

Center for bioethics offers all the courses and study
materials for all the students and professionals who are
looking to pursue their career in the field of bioethics. This is
the perfect place for all those who love to research on the
ethical issues related to healthcare, policy formation,
administrative decisions, etc. This interdisciplinary
collaboration lets students and professionals understand all

3. Einstein Education
Einstein’s M.D. program prepares tomorrow’s physicians to excel in
both the science and the art of medicine by combining the pursuit of
scientific excellence with compassionate and humanistic care and the
social mission to improve human health through engagement in our
local, national, and global communities. Our Graduate Programs in the
Biomedical Sciences train some of today’s brightest students to become
the next generation of leading scientific researchers, while our Medical
Scientist Training Program (resulting in both M.D. and Ph.D. degrees)
embraces a comprehensive "bench to bedside" philosophy to nurture
the development of well-rounded physician-scientists. In all, the
College of Medicine offers six graduate degree programs.

4. Research Round-Up
Vaccinating Against Herpes Simplex Viruses—Herpes Simplex
Virus (HSV) causes herpes--a common illness involving recurrent
oral or genital skin lesions. There is no effective vaccine to prevent
herpes, and antiviral drugs reduce symptoms but do not eradicate
the virus. In a report in the August 4 JCI Insight, Betsy Herold,
M.D., and William Jacobs, Jr., Ph.D., co-senior authors, and
colleagues demonstrate that a new vaccine candidate developed in
their labs (DgD-2) protected mice infected by genetically diverse
strains of HSV-1 and HSV-2 that were provided by Amy Fox, M.D.,
at the Clinical Virology Lab of Montefiore. The vaccine induces
antibodies that rapidly clear the virus from the skin before it can
establish latency and persist in the body.

5. Searching for Consensus on
“Healthy” Foods
Get 10 registered dietitian/nutritionists (RDNs) in a room and
the chance of us “talking shop” is virtually 100 percent. While
there’d be a robust debate about some subjects, we’d all agree
that the question we get more than any other from the public
is, “Is this healthy?” and various iterations of the same.
Many consumers have definite ideas about what’s healthy and
what’s not. So do nutritionists. According to a survey recently
conducted by the New York Times that contrasted responses
of the public and members of the American Society of
Nutritionists, a professional organization, the two groups
frequently disagree about whether a food is “healthy.”
