NEOMED Ph.D. students share research at premier neuroscience conference

NEOMED doctoral students in the Basic and Translational Biomedicine program recently presented their research at the Society for Neuroscience (SfN) Annual Meeting. The conference is the world’s largest and most influential gathering of neuroscientists, drawing more than 25,000 attendees from academic institutions, health systems, biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries, government agencies, and global research organizations.

SfN provided an unparalleled opportunity for the students to highlight their research and network with leading scientists, potential collaborators and funding agencies.
