Congratulations to Brice!

Dr. Brice Curtin has been named as a Convergence Scholar through the MIT Center for Precision Cancer Medicine and the Marble Center for Cancer Nanomedicine Convergence Scholars Program.

“The Convergence Scholars Program (CSP) provides postdoctoral trainees opportunities to further their experiences and skills beyond the research laboratory. Scholars will learn more about science project development by approaching it from various angles, including policy and regulations, technology transfer, education and outreach, business and finances, industry, and the clinic.”

Congrats, Brice!
