Katie Ranard was awarded a NINDS F32 postdoctoral fellowship in April 2023 for her project entitled, "Role of n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids in myelination during development". Katie has initiated an entirely new research direction for us on the impact of nutritional deficits on brain development.

Kadidia Adula received a NINDS F32 fellowship in April, 2023 for her project entitled, "Examining the role of resident mRNAs in myelin plasticity". Funded for three years, this fellowship will support Kadidia's investigations of mRNA transport in oligodendrocytes and their translation in response to neural activity. 

Dr. Kim Arena was awarded a 3-year NINDS F32 postdoctoral fellowship for her project entitled, "Investigating the role of Wnt signaling effectors on the neuron-glia switch and OPC specification during development and after injury". The funding will help support Kim's role in helping lead our cell fate specification projects.
