It was a full house for today's Lunch & Learn w/ MBI Associate Director of Innovation Dr. Ramon Sun. He shared insights on how MBI members can access core facilities & shared resources to elevate their research — covering imaging, microscopy, brain bank, computing services & AI.

NMPT Symposium activities are underway! Dr. Randy Trumbower (Division of Medical Sciences at HMS) joined BREATHE & NMPT T32 trainees for lunch to discuss their research and career development. 👥👏

Looking forward to this!!

This year's NMPT Symposium Data Blitz was a success! BREATHE & NMPT T32 trainees delivered 5-minute presentations on their current research and had the chance to connect with faculty and peers. We are all geared up for tomorrow's main events! 👏

🗣️RSVP by Apr 9! The next MBI Insights event, "The Resilient Brain: Patient Journeys & Neuroplasticity," is happening on April 16! Join us for some inspiring conversations with Suzanne Weitzel and Carly Pfeiffer. Learn more and RSVP here: bit.ly/4bt8Yzg 👇🧠

Dr. Rana has been invaluable to the BREATHE Center and will be greatly missed! Congratulations on this amazing achievement! We'll be cheering you on and excited to see what's next. To follow the Rana Lab, visit: theranalab.com 🫶🎉
