2022: A Year to Remember

While pandemic safety protocols and guidelines continued to play a role in Larner life, a familiar, reassuring rhythm and return to in-person activities marked 2022. We welcomed new students, said goodbye to those who graduated, witnessed groundbreaking research, and celebrated the opening and dedication of a new state-of-the-art medical research building – 2022 was indeed a year to remember.

Revisit some moments from this year with us…
