Mia Wertheimer has been working diligently with her PhD student mentor, Maria Najjar, for the past several months. She was finally able to present their poster at the 2026 Tulane Fall Research & Idea Symposium this week. Mia was a fantastic presenter! The rest of the lab is so proud of both of them for their hard work and dedication to researching the nucleus of the solitary tract. We expect to have more exciting research coming from them soon!
