The Neurovascular Collaborative Cluster is sponsored by the CNBC and combines researchers from CMU and Pitt/UPMC interested in neurovascular research.
Our MAIN ACTIVITIES include (1) a monthly internal or invited Seminar Speaker, (2) an internal student-run Journal Club to discuss NVC-related papers that interest our constituents, and (3) networking and social events that promote NVC-related research and brain-storming of ideas.
Latest/Upcoming Speaker
Dr Ingiosi is an expert in astrocyte neurobiology and the relationship of various cellular processes with calcium, especially those related to sleep and wakefulness.
