Einstein Education
Einsteins M.D. program prepares tomorrows 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 todays 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.

Vaccinating Against Herpes Simplex VirusesHerpes 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.
