(1/3) Hi #sciencetwitter! We are the Brain Science Institute (#BSI) housed within @ChicagoMedEdu @RFUniversity. Our mission is to identify and solve fundamental aspects of brain function and development and to use these discoveries to understand the mechanisms of brain diseases.
Excellent research is being accomplished at RFU! We are so proud 🙌👏 #BSI
Drs. Jeremy “Amiel” Rosenkranz, Rahul Vijay and Weihang “Valerie” Chai have been awarded approximately $9.8 million in funding from @NIH for research projects related to brain function and diseases, cancer and parasitic infections. rosalindfranklin.edu/news/ni…
Daniel A. Peterson, PhD, professor and director, Center for Stem Cell and Regenerative Medicine, received a two-year, $429,925 NIH grant for his research study “Generation of Parkinson-Derived Human Glial Progenitor Cells for Dopaminergic Neuronal Conversion.” 👏

Insightful conversations around startups and how not to end up in the “valley of death.” Dr. Stutzmann represented the #BSI on Wednesday night!
Our recent BioInnovations Series gathering was a widely successful, Intellectually stimulating and engaging community event! Thank you to everyone who joined us and participated in the fantastic discussion. See you at the next one!

@AmielRosenkranz and @Nicole__Ferrara representing the BSI @GLCASPET today! Excellent conference discussing the pharmacology and neurobiology of PTSD and anxiety disorders.
Congrats to Dr. Marr representing the #BSI in this years "Researchers to Know!"
Congratulations to @BFeinsteinPh, Dr. Marr and Dr. Sharma-Wali for being named a Researcher to Know by the Illinois Science & Technology Coalition. We’re #RFUProud that among 31 scientists recognized this year, three of our very own made the cut! istcoalition.org/data/resear…

Excited to announce that the CNDT will be hosting an Inaugural Alzheimer's Prevention Day! Zoom option for those in the community who are interested. Join us to learn more about how to keep your brain healthy! rosalindfranklin.zoom.us/j/9…
Congrats to all of the faculty on their awards. And a special shout-out to @dabrowska_lab on the prestigious Morris L Parker Research Award for long-term meritorious research achievement! #BSI
Another year, another birdie flies out the nest (soooon ;)
Congratulations, Dr. @ChudobaRachel, on nailing your PhD defense on "The effect of sex and estrous cycle on BNST-CRF neuron activity and their role in defensive behaviors". Your presentation rocked the room! 🍾👩🔬🥳🧪🐀🎓
