The BHL team takes the plunge at the Lexington Polar Plunge! The team fundraised a total of $1,308 for Special Olympics Kentucky, which supports individuals with intellectual disabilities. This tradition started back in 2011 when the lab, then located in Minnesota, joined nearly 900 participants in the Polar Bear Plunge and jumped into the below freezing temperatures of Lake Superior. The current team was lucky that, despite the rain, their plunge was only a frigid 46° F. The team couldn’t be more excited to do it again next year!
Hady presents at the Trainee Research Day
Hady presented a poster on anti-amyloid antibodies and their effects on blood-brain barrier integrity at the College of Medicine Trainee Research Day. This work represents a new and timely research direction in the lab that aligns with the development of novel disease-modifying antibody therapeutics for Alzheimer’s disease.
