Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The grant supports biomedical research aimed at understanding how the brain protects itself from lymphoma cells, which could inform treatments that prevent the disease from spreading to the nervous system. The funds will also provide students with hands-on research experience in biomedical and behavioral sciences.
