Yesterday, we gathered for a farewell lunch to say goodbye to Ali, who spent the past year with us as a Fulbright fellow. The year passed quickly, and it was an absolute pleasure to have him in the group, contributing to our research on the direct reprogramming of fibroblasts into inducedastrocytes.

As a Fulbright student, Ali brought fresh perspectives, dedication, and great energy to the lab. His presence will be truly missed, both scientifically and personally. We wish him the very best in his future studies and look forward to following his continued success.
