They are celebrating the publication of a high-impact paper first-authored by a medical student on rotation to the lab from Tsinghua University, Beijing, China.

Biomedical Science Tower-3 at the University of Pittsburgh This research building, Biomedical Science Tower-3 (BST-3), is one of the eight new research buildings constructed during Dr Levine’s watch. All of these buildings reflect his input regarding flexible and collaboration-promoting lab design. BST-3 is largely focused on brain research, and it is now the home of Dr Levine’s own lab and office. With permission from Warren Jagger Photography; architect: Payette.
