Amazing concert by the legendary Chucho Valdez at the Bistro last night!

We are so proud of Vanesa for winning the DBBS postbac 3-minute elevator pitch! 🎉 She was handsomely rewarded with delicious donuts. Her work in the lab explores how cancer cells communicate with neurons in vitro, revealing how tumors may recruit neural activity to fuel growth. #YouGotThis👏

What are the current and emerging topics in Cancer Neuroscience, and what comes next for the field? In our new review, now online @cp-cell.bsky.social, we discuss previous and ongoing research from leading laboratories and propose future directions for research. 🧠🔬 Curious? See link below 😀👇

Happy Birthday Herbie Hancock! The legendary pianist debuted on Blue Note in 1962 with "Takin' Off," the first in a run of brilliant 1960s albums that established him as one of the all-time greats. Stream our playlist "Herbie Hancock: The Finest": bluenote.lnk.to/HerbieHancoc...

Happy St. Patrick's day everyone! 🍀 With green fits and a whole lot of festive science, we’re celebrating curiosity, teamwork, and a little extra magic in this lucky day. 🌈

Congratulations Dr. Forster!

In today’s #GrandRounds, Aditi Gupta, PhD, from the WashU Institute for Informatics, Data Science & Biostatistics, discussed the process of developing a predictive AI pipeline model that analyzes clinical data to provide individualized risk assessment for NF1 patients.

Amazing look into the future of precision medicine for NF1. Dr. Aditi Gupta presented her pioneering efforts using AI approaches at Neurology Grand Rounds today. Wow!

Thank you to the NINDS for this second R35 award, providing the flexibility to explore new areas of investigation, including brain cancer immunology, cancer neuroscience, and predictive risk factors of neurological disease pathogenesis.

Thank you Megan. Well done, young Jedi!

Congratulations to Jared V. Goodman, MD, PhD, who received the National Multiple Sclerosis Society's Clinician Scientist Development Award! It supports his training and research, focusing on how central nervous system macrophages might contribute to risk for multiple sclerosis.
