2nd Anniversary for DCRI
We will soon celebrate the 2nd Anniversary for the Charles P. Darby Children's Research Institute (DCRI). The DCRI and its dedicated investigators have proven to be incredibly productive over the last two years, and we are very proud of the work being done. Each day, there are new developments taking place and successful collaborations being established. The DCRI continues to attract new scientists including Dr. Bell in Renal Biology, Dr. Lee in Cardiobiology, and Dr. Swaja in Bioengineering, among others in 2006-2007.
On March 1, 2007, the DCRI invites you to learn about new discoveries in basic biology and in translational and clinical sciences that impact our children's health.

The Celebration will begin with an Open House and Poster Session from 2 - 4p.m., on the 2nd floor DCRI/BSB Lobby. Refreshments will be provided and investigators will be present by their posters on DCRI Floors 2 through 6. Last year, more than 150 people from several colleges, departments and the Children's Hospital attended the celebration and we expect the 2nd DCRI Birthday Celebration to attract an even large community of researchers, health professional, and trainees.
Immediately following the Open House and Poster Session, we will have a scientific presentation by Dr. Michael V. Johnston, an esteemed research scientist at Kennedy Krieger Institute and professor of neurology and pediatrics at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. Dr. Johnston will deliver his first talk entitled Clinical Disorders of Brain Plasticity at 4 p.m. in BSB 402. The regularly scheduled MCBP Seminar Series has listed Dr. Johnston as the speaker for that day. The presentation is open to all and we encourage all staff members to attend.
On Friday March 2, Dr. Johnston will deliver his second talk entitled Neonatal Encephalopathy (8 a.m., SEI 8th Floor Auditorium). A mini-reception will follow. Please come and enjoy great celebration!
