As a molecular and cellular neuroscientist, I had the opportunity to deeply immerse myself in the bioinformatics mindset and experience the highly collaborative, dynamic culture at EMBL-EBI.\r\n\r\nDuring my one-month visit, I completed two collaborative projects with Dr. Petsalaki\u2019s group on cell\u2013cell communication in the human brain and Alzheimer\u2019s disease, both of which got published earlier this year. The visit also fostered new ideas and collaborations that we are actively pursuing.\r\n\r\nBeyond the research, I enjoyed the evergreen spring in Cambridge and the Wellcome Genome campus, shared enthusiastic and relaxing sports activities with colleagues outside the lab, and built friendships that span oceans. My EMBL CPP Fellowship at EBI is undoubtedly one of the most memorable experiences of my academic journey.\u201d    <\/div>\n    \n          <footer class=\"vf-u-margin__top--600\">\n      \n      <div class=\"vf-blockquote_author\">\n        Yifei Cai      <\/div>\n\n      \n      <div class=\"vf-blockquote_author__details\">Associate Research Scientist, Yale University, USA visiting Petsalaki group at EMBL-EBI in Feb\/March 2024<\/div>\n    <\/footer>\n      <\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"vf-tabs__section\" id=\"vf-tabs__section-social-impact\"><h2>Social impact and industry interactions<\/h2>\n<div class=\"vf-grid | vf-grid__col-3\"><div class=\"vf-grid__col--span-2\"><!--[vf\/content]-->\n<div class=\"vf-content\">\n\n<p>Partner with EMBL to create meaningful social impact and advance your corporate social responsibility (CSR) goals.
