Honored to be named the @ISEHSociety Janet Rowley Award winner. Grateful to my amazing @SignerLab team, brilliant collaborators & generous mentors. Big congrats to this year's other awardees @CSCIColumbia @majetilab @rosslevinemd @TheKingLab - all remarkable scientists & mentors!
ISEH is proud to announce the winners of our 2024 Society Awards! Scientific Award Winners: Emmanuelle Passegué, Ravindra 'Ravi' Majeti and Robert Signer Leadership Award Winners: Ross Levine and Katherine King Read more about this year's winners here 👉 simplyblood.org
What changes should happen? The @NIH should own 2% of all IP that emerges from its grant funding. The influx of $ would likely sustain and grow the NIH in perpetuity.
Ideas scaring the academic establishment; could happen soon 1) Capping “overhead” funds for university admins on @NIH grants 2) Taxing of university endowments 3) Making those working at NIH itself write standard grants 4) age-out of grant competition after 65? Thoughts?
Loss of proteostasis is a hallmark of aging…but did you know that it is also severely challenged during development? This morning at #ISEH2024, rising star Dr. Helena Yu will tell you how developing stem cells meet these challenges & its impact on the future of transplants.
What if the key to fighting cancer isn’t just treating tumors—but treating aging itself? Join me at the #AACR25 Major Symposium on Clonal Hematopoiesis & Aging to explore how aging fuels cancer—and how we can fight back. 🗓️ Apr 28 | ⏰ 10:15 AM CT | 📍Room S404, McCormick Place
