And making sure that our GROW student ISTAustria and big Swifty Fan is not too sad....Yari Corona

Congratulation to our ISTAustria summer intern Filotea Crasovan , who received the first poster prize for her presentation. She is working with Medina to figure out how #microglia migrate. Stay tuned for exciting data to come... :)

Faculty call at ISTA specifically for ASSISTANT PROFESSOR (tenure-track) positions who want to start their FIRST independent research group in: Life Sciences (A special area of interest is #neuroscience). Check it out.
