MMPC-Live Open House and Demonstration | With our newly implemented VIBRANT program, we aim to enable new** and underrepresented investigators as well as those from small research institutions that traditionally have not received significant research funding and/or have historically served underrepresented populations to produce outstanding results and better compete for funding. As part of this initiative, we are excited to announce our first travel award this year. Recipients will have the opportunity to visit MMPC-Live in Ann Arbor, Michigan on April 19, 2024, and learn about our available phenotyping procedures in live mouse models. |
