Dr. Hubbard is a molecular biologist who studies gene expression during cellular aging.  Her research focuses on RNA metabolism during aging and the relationship between cell death (apoptosis) and aging.  She is also one of the Principal Investigators for the CCNY-MSK Partnership for Cancer Research, Research Education, and Community Outreach.
