Phone: (215) 898-8178   &   898-8627
Fax: (215) 573-4063

Offices, such as 4N65 (below), are in David Rittenhouse Lab [How to get here]
Telephone numbers can be reached from outside of Penn's campus by adding the prefixes "(215) 89 in front of the 8-", "(215) 57 in front of the 3-" and "(215) 74 in front of the 6-". For instance, 8-8627 on campus becomes (215) 898-8627 off campus and 3-3997 on campus becomes (215) 573-3997 off campus.
