American Junior Investigator's Association (AJIA)
@AJIAorg
Nonprofit organization dedicated to advocacy, outreach and support of early career physician-scientists
📢All residents/fellows/early career physician-scientists! Watch out for a survey coming from your PDs to assess factors that have helped or hindered your research careers thus far! Take 5-7 min to complete. Results will be used for advocacy & can be used to guide policy!
“Your purpose as a scientist is to make discoveries and gift them to humanity. And those discoveries and that knowledge stays with humanity long after you are gone.” - Nobel laureate Carolyn Bertozzi….. and honestly every scientist I’ve had the privilege of knowing
Proposals in Congress would cut NIH funding, weaken ARPA-H, and dismantle NSF’s innovation engine. But advocacy works. Your voice matters. The deadline to act is July 21. Sign on. Email Congress. Reach out. We must do everything we can to protect science. Details below.
Look forward to sharing our science led by @Cross_JL & @shawnwahi @YaleMed @YaleCardiology @YaleIMed @YaleCancer @escardio 2025 in Madrid Spain! #AI #LLM #CMR & #ML models to predict ICI cardiotoxicity w/new risk calculator @attilafehermd @ibolya_csecs @mtysar @MariamBaigMD
Exciting work going on in NY @czi biohub (& across other biohubs) on immune cell understanding & engineering to tackle a wide spectrum of diseases using the latest omics technologies! Thx @cziscience @TsangLab for the invite to present our work! @KnowingAlok
Thank you @LaskerFDN for the t-shirt! "If you think research is expensive . . . try disease"
🦸♂️Introducing Skin Sentinel — a comic inspired by dermatologist @CorySimpsonMD! #Physicianscientists are science superheroes who turn discoveries into therapies. From rare skin diseases to real-world impact—this is how science saves/improves lives. Support science & researchers
Visionary, throwback to @scrippsresearch #precisionmedicine conference modeling 14 million pts in the University of California system
So sorry to hear about @atulbutte, grateful for the opportunity to have been mentored by him @UCSF working on the UC rex dataset of 16 million pts (at the time), exploring #cardioonc toxicities! And for his insights as recent as last year . . . you've inspired many! RIP
The UCSF community mourns the passing of Atul Butte, MD, PhD, a bold thinker, inspiring mentor and founding director of the Bakar Computational Health Sciences Institute. tiny.ucsf.edu/tGz3QY
Research also takes a village! Grateful to a dedicated lab team & collaborators, friends passionate about finding insights to improve health outcomes for #CardioOnc pts! #AI #radiomics #genomics #multiomics @YaleCardiology @YaleMed @Yale @KnowingAlok @mtysar @Cross_JL @shawnwahi
Physician-scientists turn lab breakthroughs into lifesaving treatments & make up a high portion of @NobelPrize, @LaskerFDN winners. Budget ✂️ put their work—& our health—at risk. Write your senators/US reps to support science @jennkwanMDPhD @EvanNoch @HanCardiomd @Alychee135997
"1st time in recent history when all 3 missions of academic medicine – research, education & patient care – are threatened . . . When research stops, progress stops . . . . progress toward ⬆️ treatment, towards more cures, towards a better quality of life tinyurl.com/5dv4kb6h
Congrats @Yale & @YaleMed grads and all grads this year! Using the education/experiences to make a positive impact . . . #handsomeDan
I discuss the urgent crisis from the loss of federal support of science in the US and recent clinical gene editing breakthroughs with @WalterIsaacson & @amanpour on @AmanpourCoPBS, airing on @PBS tonight at 11 pm ET, and on @cnni earlier today. Pls share! youtube.com/watch?v=8YhJM6…
Always inspiring @jointmeeting! What⭐️power @AJIAorg symposium, including biotech trailblazer, @VickiSato, @VertexPharma CSO, David Altschuler MD PhD @AstraZeneca leader, Pietro Galassetti MD PhD. A nod @ AJIA-@theNAMedicine think tank @ fireside chat w/@VictorDzau @Regeneron CEO
Congrats @clairepomeroy, @LaskerFDN president for winning the @AJIAorg founders award; grateful for your mentorship, support & championing for physician scientists! And thank you for reminding all "If you think research is expensive, try disease"
Congrats to @nsaezmd and Sorabh for winning travel awards to present their work @ the AJIA symposium!
Thx to @JoshMeeks @NorthwesternU, @VivianGahtanMD @LoyolaChicago & @LD_McCullough @U_Uthouston for their pearls on navigating finding a faculty position and starting a lab at the @AJIAorg symposium!
Honored to receive the AJIA Founder's Award yesterday at the #JointMeeting2025. We at the @LaskerFDN greatly value our partnership with @AJIAorg and look forward to ongoing collaborations.
Look forward to @HanZhuMD's talk for our @YaleCardiology #cardioonc seminar @YaleMed @Yale @YaleCancer on 4/29/25, 1-2pm EST. @CardioOnc_MR_CT @hull_md @MariamBaigMD @mtysar
