✈️ One of out second-year genetic counseling student, Nili Lang, traveled to North Carolina to attend the Mowat-Wilson Foundation Conference in support of her master’s thesis research!
Nili’s thesis focuses on Mowat-Wilson syndrome, and the conference was an incredible opportunity to connect with the Mowat-Wilson community, hear directly from individuals and families, and recruit participants for her research study.
We are so proud of Nili for representing our program and for contributing to research that is centered on partnership with the rare disease community. Opportunities like these not only strengthen research but also foster meaningful connections that make a lasting impact.
Way to go, Nili! 💙🧬
