On December 8th, Dr. Gaudet visited the Center for Shock, Trauma and Anesthesiology Research (STAR) at the University of Maryland School of Medicine. It was a privilege to present our lab's recent work on neuroinflammation and recovery to such a dedicated group of trauma researchers. A huge thank you to Dr. Junfang Wu for being a wonderful host and for the insightful discussions on new approaches for studying neuroinflammation and supporting trainees.
