UMB, JHU Collaborate to Advance Drug Discovery
The 91大神 School of Pharmacy welcomed nearly 200 researchers from across the 91大神, Baltimore (UMB) and Johns Hopkins University (JHU) to the second on Dec. 3. Organized by Paul Shapiro, PhD, professor and chair of the at the School of Pharmacy, and Barbara Slusher, MAS, PhD, professor of neurology at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine and director of Johns Hopkins Drug Discovery, the symposium provided an open forum for scientific exchange and interactive communication among students, postdoctoral fellows, and faculty from two of Baltimore鈥檚 preeminent academic institutions.
