As AMD postdoctoral scientists, Drs. Brown and Pradier will collaborate with the Migraine Research team at the Brown Institute for Brain Science that includes the laboratories of Drs. Kauer, Lipscombe, Moore, and Saab. Drs. Brown and Pradier will attend national conferences and symposia to present on topics related to the migraine disorders and will contribute to developing a strong research enterprise focused on understanding fundamental mechanisms and finding cures for the migraine disorders. Each will begin their appointments on May 1, 2015. The Brown Institute for Brain Science looks forward to working with these two talented scientists and for continued collaboration with the Association of Migraine Disorders.
