It’s the best patient care we can deliver when we bring together different doctors with different skill sets and expertise to provide the fastest, most up-to-date and most accurate diagnosis.
Dr. Malter

“It’s the best patient care we can deliver when we bring together different doctors with different skill sets and expertise to provide the fastest, most up-to-date and most accurate diagnosis. That’s what everybody wants, and it’s a tremendous advantage to patients,” says Dr. Malter.

Dr. Malter has been continuously funded by the National Institutes of Health and other agencies since 1988. His research is currently supported by multiple individual and program project grants for his scientific work in post-transcriptional gene regulation and signaling in the immune and nervous systems.
