Dr. Rasenick becomes a member of the National Academy of Science of Cuba

Dr. Mark Rasenick, Distinguished UIC Professor and Associate Director of the University of Illinois Center on Depression & Resilience (UICDR), was installed as a member of the National Academy of Science of Cuba. This prestigious award was bestowed in recognition of Dr. Rasenick’s work over more than 2 decades during which he and his Cuban colleagues have developed an expansive network of neuroscience collaboration between Cuba and the US. 

At a ceremony taking place last December, Dr. Luis Velázquez, president of the Academy of Sciences of Cuba cited Dr. Rasenick for his contributions in the area of neuroscience, specifically in the field of Psychiatry, and diseases that occur around depression.
