Congratulations to GMB student @MartaCristiCruz, from the @Heise_Lab, on being awarded the Graduate Diversity Enrichment Program grant from @BWFUND!

[Brea H. Brown, Ph.D. @bkhamp]

So excited to announce that I have been awarded an #NIA F99/K00 pre-doc to post-doc transition award!! I could not have done this without the mentorship of the dynamic duo, @MTFerris and @Heise_Lab, and everyone that supported my application.

[Brea H. Brown, Ph.D. @bkhamp]

So excited to finally share my pre-print from my project on genetic regulation of immune homeostasis in the lungs using the Collaborative Cross mouse population! (1/5) @Heise_Lab @MTFerris @Baric_Lab
