The purpose of the workshop is to spawn new scientific interactions by bringing two Focus Area Working Groups (FAWGs) of the Rutgers Brain Health Institute together, the Neurodegeneration and Injury FAWG and Neurodevelopment FAWG, to explore areas of common interest and overlap.
Eight scientific presentations at the intersection between both FAWGs are expected to jumpstart new discussions and ideas for future collaboration.
Date and Time: Wednesday, June 3, 1:30 – 5:30 pm
Location: Conference Room 3101, Child Health Institute, 89 French Street, New Brunswick, NJ
