About
The Hope Center Program on Protein Aggregation and Neurodegeneration (HPAN) is one of five Interdisciplinary Research Centers (IRCs) selected by the Dean of Washington University School of Medicine. As a BioMed 21 IRC, HPAN was awarded support from the Dean, and space in the new BJC Institute of Health (BJC-IH).
Below are those HPAN labs that are based in the BJC-IH. For the complete list of HPAN labs, click here.
