MBTI's goal of training the next generation is possible in part because of support like the NREF Research Fellowship Grant, recently awarded to Mark Youngblood. Learn about the #meningioma project this grant enabled during Dr. Youngblood's Neurosurgery at NM #residency below. (1/2)

How to send off a neuropathologist as he embarks on the step of his career as an attending physician:

ASCI NM Ophthalmology Craig Horbinski, MD, PhD, was elected to @The_ASCI
for his lab's work in improving the care of patients with gliomas — tumors in the brain or nervous system that form from glial cells.

Northwestern Medicine investigators have discovered that specialized immune cells within the #glioblastoma #tumor microenvironment use a unique “feeding” mechanism that promotes tumor growth and treatment resistance. ow.ly/LglH50Qpn8Z

Amazing 🤩 Nerdy 🧠 moms for the win 😊
