Division of Molecular Medicine

Need to track down a department buried in Columbia’s medical campus? Division of Molecular Medicine clusters research and clinical services under one roof on the 11th floor at P&S 8401, 622 W 168th St in Washington Heights. They host programs in infectious disease research, host-pathogen interactions, tumor immunotherapy, and structural biology. Their biochemistry core supports mass spectrometry and CRISPR screening, while the computational biology group handles integrative omics pipelines. Gene therapy studies and antiviral drug discovery round out the portfolio, linking bench work to bedside application.

Parking headaches are common in this part of the Heights, but visitors can aim for street spots west of Fort Washington Avenue or use the hospital garage below the Allan Rosenfield Building. The building sits between Audubon and St. Nicholas Avenues, close to the elevated 1 train at 168th St. A brisk walk south from the A/C at 163rd St also works if you prefer to come up Amsterdam. Once inside the lobby, follow the P&S directory to the elevators that serve the 8th through 12th floors.

Add contact info once near the end: call 212-305-5093. If you’re heading over, pull up directions on the map for real-time transit or driving options.
