At the Colorado Clinical and Translational Sciences Institute (CCTSI) we help build research teams teams of the future, speed the development of new treatments and improve human health.
We are psyched to kick off this year’s CU-CSU Summit, Advancing Neurosciences: From Molecules to Mind, at @cuanschutz.bsky.social! 🧠 CCTSI Director Ron Sokol, MD, of @cugastrohep.bsky.social, and other CCTSI leaders started the day with an overview of our mission and opening remarks.
We're excited for the 14th Annual CU-CSU Summit on #neuroscience tomorrow! 🧠 Highlights include talks from Amanda Piquet, MD; Jeff Hebert, PhD, PT; and Julie Moreno, PhD, on topics ranging from Stiff Person Syndrome and brain injury to neurodegeneration. Photos from the 2024 Summit.
Congratulations to the CCTSI Clinical Translational Research Center (CTRC) Core Lab on earning accreditation from the College of American Pathologists (CAP), the most rigorous #laboratory accreditation available! 🎉 This achievement reflects the Core Lab team's hard work and expertise.
