It was less of a goodbye and more of a cheerful reminder that once a part of the lab family, always a part of it.

On May 17th, 2025, during the Open Day at RUAS, our lab had the exciting opportunity to showcase some of our major research endeavors to newly enrolled students as well as those exploring the university as potential future scientists. With interactive and engaging conversations, we introduced visitors to the fascinating worlds of Axonal Drug Delivery, Neural Inputs in Healing, and High-Altitude Neurovascular Research. The atmosphere was electric as curious minds gathered around to ask questions, draw connections to real-world applications, and imagine where these projects could lead.

On 12th April, our Lab hosted a lively online alumni meet that turned out to be much more than just a catch-up session—it felt like a virtual reunion filled with stories, laughter, and some much-needed wisdom.
