Two members of the department were elected to the Midwest Society for Pediatric Research (MSPR) Council: Awni Al-Subu, MD, associate professor, Division of Critical Care, and Bryn Webb, MD, associate professor, Division of Genetics and Metabolism. Their three-year terms will begin on January 1, 2026. The MSPR aims to foster scientific pediatric research, provide a forum for investigators to present their work for discussion and feedback, and advance collaboration and mentorship in scholarship in pediatrics. Council members play a role in generating interest in the society and planning the fall research meeting.
