Cutting federal funding for basic research will hurt the US economy | The Hill thehill.com/opinion/congre…

📢Excited to share the first publication of the #SpecialIssue “Oncogenesis of Lymphoma”: Title: Molecular Mechanisms of Kaposi Sarcoma-Associated Herpesvirus (HHV8)-Related Lymphomagenesis by Caroline J. Yu @carolinejyu_ and Blossom Damania @DamaniaLab 🔗mdpi.com/2072-6694/16/2…

Big news. We are moving. I have officially started as the Director of the Gene Therapy Center, and as a Professor of Pediatrics and Professor of Pharmacology at UNC-Chapel Hill. I am returning “home” to lead the Center where I earned my PhD.

I am honored and excited to join UNC Lineberger and UNC health, to make an impact across the Triangle and state of NC, reducing the burden of cancer and advancing research and cancer treatment! Amazing team and strong legacy of directors Earp, Sharpless and Pagano.

Every female physician felt this in her core.

Scientific research has been the engine of American economic growth for over half a century. From lifesaving medicines to the device you are reading this on. With these bills, congress takes one more step towards ceding that leadership abroad. science.org/content/articl…

The @UNC School of Medicine community is extremely saddened by the passing of Dr. Ada Adimora, a trailblazing physician-scientist, mentor, and compassionate friend and advocate for so many people in North Carolina and around the world. unchealth.info/26t050QnwYN

.@HIVptn Remembers Ada Adimora: A champion for Science and Justice. mailchi.mp/hptn.org/hptn_…

I am incredibly sad to learn that my friend and colleague Dr. Ada Adimora, passed away yesterday. Ada was an amazing leader who's contributions to HIV/AIDS were many. In 2020 she delivered the Kass lecture at IDWeek. idweek.org/videos/2020-ka… May she rest in peace.

Rest in Peace, Dr. Ada Adimora. Your scientific research helped communities living with or affected by HIV, and your advocacy humanized us all.

Our scientists put on their creative caps for this one - the lab of Chuck Perou, PhD, took the top honors for this year’s holiday door decoration contest. Runner-ups were the labs of Wendell Yarbrough, MD, MMHC/Natalia Isaeva, PhD, and @DamaniaLab, PhD. go.unc.edu/linebergerholi…
