Translational Neuroscience Interest Group (TNIG) Meetings

TNIG meetings are based on shared research interests between basic and clinical faculty at CWRU and UH. Meetings generally have a theme on which two speakers (usually one clinician and one basic scientist) make an informal presentation. Members of the group are invited to speak, however external speakers may be referred to organizers by contacting the CTN.
