Leducq Brain Clearance Meeting in Germany

Our lab is part of the Leducq Network on Brain Clearance in Cerebral Amyloid Angiopathy, and this year is was hosted by the Petzold lab in the Alps of Eibsee, Germany. Some of our lab members with projects related to cerebral amyloid angiopathy attended the meeting and present their work. It will be hard to top this venue, but next Spring we host the meeting in Seattle, highlighting the beautiful Pacific Northwest.

It was POURING rain during dinner outside a restaurant in the foothills of the Alps, but this made the scene and sunset even more amazing.

Sushi happy hour for Liam's going away party

We were sad to have Liam Sullivan leave the lab, but happy to celebrate his future steps toward medical school! Congratulations Liam!

Great food and ambiance at Umi Sake House.

NFCIBR Retreat in Leavenworth

In October, NFCIBR held their highly anticipated Center retreat at the Sleeping Lady Resort in Leavenworth, WA. This is an amazing venue for science, nestled into the mountains just east of Seattle, full of wildlife and well timed for the fall foliage.
