Dongeun was selected to give a special seminar about her work on the role of TDP-43 in oligodendrocytes in one of the most important glia research meetings on this planet. Here is a picture of her receiving the award.
This special trainee award and session at the bi-annual Glia Health & Disease meeting were setup to honor the memory and contributions of Dr. Ben Barres (1954 – 2017), who advanced the glia research not only by his groundbreaking findings and also his relentless mentoring of junior scientists.
