🎓 New F30 Fellowship ✨

🎉 Please join us in congratulating MD/PhD PIN student, Garner Fincher, on receiving a new NIH F30 Individual Predoctoral MD/PhD Fellowship from the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD)! 👏

This competitive award will support his research investigating how RNA editing by ADARB1 regulates the development and function of auditory neurons in the inner ear. Using transgenic mouse models, they will define how disruption of this process affects hearing. These studies will advance understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying auditory function and may identify new therapeutic targets for hearing loss and related disorders.

We are so proud to celebrate this milestone in Garner’s journey! 💡🧠

The Program in Neuroscience (PIN) congratulates Dr. Patrick Davis, MD - PhD student in the lab of PIN Faculty, Drs. Lais Berro and James Rowlett -, on being awarded an NIH/NIDA R36 Dissertation Award for his project, “Relationship Between Daytime Sleepiness and Methamphetamine Taking”! 🎉

✨ Patrick is the first student in the UMMC Biomedical Sciences – Neurobehavioral Sciences Track PhD Program, our integrated program that extends traditional Psychiatry residency by two years to allow participants to earn a PhD during residency training. While not a part of PIN, students in this PhD program take several PIN courses as part of their graduate training!

👏 Congratulations, Patrick, on this well-deserved and prestigious award!

🎉 Student Kudos Alert! 🎉

We are thrilled to celebrate PIN student, Aditi Rudrashetty, on being selected for the 2026–2027 Washington Fellows Program through the American Society for Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics (ASPET)!

The Washington Fellows Program provides emerging scientists with an opportunity to engage in science policy and advocacy, gain firsthand experience in the policymaking process, and develop skills to effectively communicate the importance of biomedical research to policymakers.

This is an outstanding recognition of Aditi’s commitment to science and professional development. We are excited to see her represent PIN and contribute her voice to conversations shaping the future of biomedical research! 🧬🔬🏛️
