href="https://www.cshl.edu/research/faculty-staff/leemor-joshua-tor/">Leemor Joshua-Tor</a> has been named CSHL Director of Research. She takes over the position effective January 2, 2024.</p> <p>Research at CSHL explores the frontiers of cancer, neuroscience, genomics, quantitative biology, and plant biology. The Joshua-Tor lab, one of more than 60 at CSHL, studies gene expression and DNA replication.</p> <p>“I am immensely proud to follow in a long line of research directors who have helped to advance bioscience here at CSHL and worldwide,” she says. “I’m especially excited to work with <a href="https://www.cshl.edu/research/faculty-staff/bruce-stillman/">CSHL President & CEO Bruce Stillman</a> as we go deeper into new areas of research and continue to recruit the top minds from across the globe.”</p> <p>Joshua-Tor launched her independent research career at CSHL. She credits the institution with helping her become the successful scientist she is today. Her previous posts include <a href="https://www.cshl.edu/research/cancer/">CSHL Cancer Center</a> program co-leader and dean of CSHL’s <a href="https://www.cshl.edu/phd-program/">School of Biological Sciences</a>, among others.</p> <p>“Leemor Joshua-Tor is one of the most gifted researchers I’ve had the pleasure of working and collaborating with,” says Stillman. “Her leadership will be invaluable as CSHL expands its research program with the support of the <a href="https://www.cshl.edu/foundations-for-the-future-blueprint-for-tomorrow/">Foundations for the Future</a> campaign.”</p> <p>Joshua-Tor follows in the footsteps of <a href="https://www.cshl.edu/research/faculty-staff/david-l-spector/">David Spector</a>, who served as research director since 2007. Spector will remain at CSHL as a professor.</p> <p>“Leemor Joshua-Tor is an ideal choice to head up CSHL’s research program,” says Spector. “And I am excited to watch her impact on its future directions.”</p> <p>For a sneak peek, read our feature article, “<a href="https://www.cshl.edu/dream-big-a-powerful-vision-for-cshl-research/">Dream big: a powerful vision for CSHL research</a>.”</p> <p><strong>Written by</strong>: <a href="https://www.cshl.edu/author/diamond/">Samuel Diamond</a>, <em>Editorial Content Manager</em> | <a href="mailto:diamond@cshl.edu">diamond@cshl.edu</a> | 516-367-5055</p><div class="textwidget custom-html-widget"><div id="newsletter" class="panel panel-cshl"> <div class="panel-heading"> <h4> Stay informed </h4> </div> <div class="panel-body"> <p>Sign up for our newsletter to get the latest discoveries, upcoming events, videos, podcasts, and a news roundup delivered straight to your inbox every month. </p> <p class="text-center"><a href="https://www.cshl.edu/news-stand/newsletter/" class="btn btn-lg btn-learn-more-ag-gold"><span class="fa fa-envelope"></span> Newsletter Signup</a></p> </div></div></div> </div> <!--/.col--> <!-- SIDEBAR SECTION --> <div class="col-lg-3 col-md-4 col-lg-offset-right-1 col-sm-12 col-xs-12"> <h3 class="top-margin-0">Tags</h3><div class="post-cloud"><a href="https://www.cshl.edu/tag/cancer-research/" rel="tag">cancer research</a> <a href="https://www.cshl.edu/tag/cshl-cancer-center/" rel="tag">CSHL Cancer Center</a> <a href="https://www.cshl.edu/tag/david-l-spector/" rel="tag">David L.
