Congratulations to IALH Research Fellow Hector Caruncho (Division of Medical Sciences) for being awarded an Aspiration 2030 Research Cluster grant. The Mental Health Cluster will co-develop novel research venues to improve mental wellbeing, foster prevention, promote recovery in individuals experiencing mental disorders and decrease/eliminate the stigma associated with these disorders.

Congratulations to IALH Research Fellow Stephanie Willerth (Mechanical Engineering and Division of Medical Sciences) and co-lead Ian Manners (Chemistry) for also being awarded an Aspiration 2030 Research Cluster grant. The Nanotherapeutics Cluster will harness the expertise, knowledge and technologies from a diverse combination of interdisciplinary researchers to translate nanoparticle-based therapeutics into clinical and commercial applications.
