Dr. Francis Collins, the Director of the National Institutes of Health, wrote about Maine’s IDeA-funded investigator Dr. Sandra Rieger in a recent blog post: Cool Videos: Regenerating Nerve Fibers.

Dr. Rieger came to Maine to conduct her research on research on nerve regeneration in zebrafish supported by the INBRE program and is currently a faculty member at the Center for the Comparative Biology of Tissue Repair, Regeneration, and Aging at the MDI Biological Laboratory.
