New Year, New Center!
Dear Distinguished Faculty,
|
As 2020 rings in, I want to take this opportunity to extend my heartfelt greetings for the season and celebrate you all for your recent accomplishments. The new year is a time for embracing change and new beginnings. Our Center has undergone its own series of changes, including a new website and logo that better reflects our mission.
|
The center was established 19 years ago and has since grown to 32 distinguished members across the country. Through our rich collaborations, we continue to develop advancements in the design and analysis of investigations in a wide variety of areas in the health sciences. I am sure that with all your dedication and determination, we will be able to continue achieving success.
|
I wish you all a happy and prosperous new year.
