NJ ACTS Team Science Across the Consortium
Virtual Seminar Series
Brain Health Institute (BHI) Center Pilot Project
Collaboration is essential for advancing research goals, particularly in complex fields like addiction, where diverse expertise fosters innovative solutions. In addition, precision medicine, which tailors treatment approaches based on genetic and environmental factors, can significantly improve outcomes. This seminar highlights how a team coalesces around a new idea and builds it out over time in preparation for a major NIH submission.
