We are excited to bring the Speed Networking to the
HIRN Annual Meeting (Jan 13-14) #HIRN2025!
This is a great opportunity for pre-tenure early career PIs to set up a research collaboration with established PIs through a 1-on-1 speed meeting.

Congrats to Nish and the team for making the cover of Science! 🎉Hopefully this is the first of many papers coming out of this collaboration between Lim, Hebrok and Parent labs
We explored exciting new directions for cell engineering @CDI_UCSF out now in Science:
🎯 Synthetic immune cells that suppress inflammation in targeted tissues. doi.org/10.1126/science.adl4…
🧠 Tissue-sensing cells that deliver therapies to the brain. doi.org/10.1126/science.adl4…

The project focuses on deciphering how a new gamma-carboxylated protein controls calcium flux in beta cell!
We are looking for PhD students (also post-doctoral researchers). Please check our advertisement on ABG web site!
