Astrocytes, the real star stuff? Dr. Robel explores the cosmos of our brain cells - a podcast by Rachana Somaiya, Paras Patel, Jeremy Myslowski, Rachel Padget

Dr. Stefanie Robel is a primary investigator at the Fralin Biomedical Research Institute at Virginia Tech who focuses on these little star-shaped cells within our brains called astrocytes.

Additionally, we chat about her interests outside of the lab, including team building and mentorship.
