Our 2024 CSHL conference on human brain development and stem cell models is in full swing, with over 300 participants! This year’s event features exciting new discoveries and dynamic discussions, driven largely by the energy & insights of trainees. A privilege to organize this

Neural organoids made from human stem cells are a powerful tool for precision medicine. Progress in neuro-oncology, genetic neurodevelopmental and degenerative disease is amazing. Hopefully neuro-rehabilitation will be next! #CSHL2024BRAIN #TBI #SCI

The Chicago Blackhawks recently visited our pediatric floor at Shirley Ryan AbilityLab to visit with patients, attend therapy sessions, sign autographs and spread cheer through fun crafts, games and adaptive bike races. Thank you for such a special visit — and go Blackhawks!

Regardless of what anyone says or does as the former U.S. Ambassador I know we have no better friend, no better ally, no better partner in the world than Canada.🇨🇦. Each of us who cherishes this relationship needs to find a way to demonstrate it during difficult times.
