Welcome, Maria!
Maria Schiavone, senior, Mechanical Engineering Dept, joined our team. Welcome, Maria! She is recording C. elegans locomotion to discover changes in motion features, related to aging and genetic background. She will be collecting data for the Interstellar Initiative grant development, and for our joint project with BIRDS lab (Shai Revzen and Brian Bittner).
The 2nd Interstellar Workshop is now completed
Eleni participated in the 2nd Interstellar Workshop for 2019-2020, which was held on February 20-21 at New York city. This international event was jointly organized by the Japan Agency for Medical Research and Development (AMED) and New York Academy of Sciences. It was a wonderful experience!
