Program begins between MUSC, France

The first year of the exchange program between the French University of Poitiers and MUSC started off strong.

Joelle Roche, Ph.D., was instrumental in arranging for the first two students, Charlene Le Gal and Anais Dinh, to come. The students spent three months, May through July, in the laboratories of Naren L. Banik, Ph.D., neurosciences, Harry Drabkin, M.D., hematology, and Robert Gemmill, Ph.D., oncology.

Supriti Samanta Ray, Ph.D., mentored Le Gal and Roche mentored Dinh. Both students completed their respective projects, which will enable them to earn credits for their first year of the masters program in the University of Poitiers. Le Gal also actively participated in other ongoing projects in the lab and contributed towards compiling a review with Varduhi Knaryan, Ph.D.

Ray said it was a great start for the exchange program for the mutual benefit of both institutions, and it helps to promote collaboration in teaching and research.
