Updated lab photo! Today we celebrated postdoctoral fellow Kazuki Sone, whose last day in the lab is tomorrow, before he heads to Japan for a Chief Researcher position. Thank you Kazuki for being a fantastic scientist and labmate, and congratulations on your new role!

Francis Collins resigned from NIH yesterday. He rightly pointed out that it's Human Genome Project revolutionized every aspect of biomedical research. He points out that NIH has historically been sens as high priority and non partisan. 1/
Pitt to pause PhD admissions, following Vanderbilt and USC, because of uncertainty of NIH funding to academic universities. Who will teach and train US scientists for pharma and biotech? Should we import them from countries that do? wesa.fm/health-science…
SITC is deeply concerned by the announcement from NIH that will cut billions of dollars in indirect costs. We urge the NIH & the new administration to reverse this action to ensure life-saving cancer treatments continue to reach the clinic and patients. sitcancer.org/advocacy/indir…
