Biomedical Research Awareness Day (BRAD)

BRAD is a global initiative and a program from Americans for Medical Progress to help raise awareness about the critical role of animals in biomedical research breakthroughs. At UTEP Dr. Serafine helps to organize and host BRAD events each year. In 2019, BRAD events took place at the UTEP Campus Office for Undergraduate Research Initiatives Symposia. In early 2020 we also called K-12 students to talk to them about research careers, and all of the amazing medical discoveries that happened thanks to animals in research. To see more of our past BRAD events, follow the Serafine Lab on social media!

For 2021, BRAD celebrations will be hybrid (part virtual and part in person pending community safety)! You can participate from anywhere in the world by checking out the resources on the BRAD website (links below).
