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.

We explored exciting new directions for cell engineering @CDI_UCSF out now in Science:

🎯 Synthetic immune cells that suppress inflammation in targeted tissues. https://t.co/TwahFxEj0Z

🧠 Tissue-sensing cells that deliver therapies to the brain. https://t.co/ae6CTDOGdC
