Dr. Hajjar is presently the Brine Family Professor and Chairman of the Department of Cell and Developmental Biology. She directs a rapidly expanding department dedicated to fundamental questions in biology that relate to human health and disease. These include the functions of cancer causing genes, establishment of cell polarity, regulation of molecular motors, control of gene expression, and development of major organs including heart and blood vessels, skeleton, muscle, lung, brain, and blood cells. In addition, the department is committed to educating medical students, graduate students, post-doctoral fellows, and other scientists through didactic teaching, in-lab mentoring, and organization of seminars, research conferences, and an annual retreat. The department also hosts an integrated program in angiogenesis research that capitalizes on the broad vascular biology expertise in place throughout the medical center.
