Manalel selected as STAHR program scholar

We are pleased to announce that Jasmine Manalel has been selected as a scholar in the prestigious and highly competitive Sustained Training in HIV and Aging Research (STAHR) program.

STAHR is a collaborative state-of-the-art research training program funded by the National Institute of Mental Health that aims to transform promising junior scientists into high-quality independently funded researchers. Fostering the development of researchers with knowledge and expertise in both aging and HIV is critical for the promotion of urgently needed research in this field. STAHR builds on the infrastructure and expertise available at two major research programs at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD), the Stein Institute for Research on Aging and the HIV Neurobehavioral Research Program.

Along with her mentor, director of research and evaluation Mark Brennan-Ing, Dr. Manalel will join the 2025-2028 cohort.
