Time to celebrate.. the WASHU PCD Time is excited to see it's rank expand. We wish our expecting mom's all the best, and we can't wait to meet the little ones!


The whole WashU cilia group got together for a BBQ to celebrate Susan @DutcherLab election to the #NAS 🙌 Good weather, great food, and better company! 🍻
Celebrating @DutcherLab @washumedicine for her amazing accomplishment #NAS with the #WashUcilia. Great scientists, great friends, and great cooks : )



Amazing scientist and amazing group
Celebrating @DutcherLab 🎉#NAS with the best group of colleagues #WashUcilia
I am proud of Nicholas Hadas, a talented bioinformatician @horaniLab @washumedicine (and a future PhD candidate) for winning first place in predictive analytics with his group, at the The CAIDF Hackathon in Chicago.

👏👏 Dutcher elected to National Academy of Sciences source.washu.edu/2025/05/dutche…
Major congratulations to my good friend, colleague and mentor Susan Dutcher @DutcherLab for being elected to the National Academy of Sciences! 🍾 A much deserved recognition of an incredible scientist who's made giant contributions to our understanding of #cilia biology 👏👏
We are thrilled to announce the election of 120 members and 30 international members to the National Academy of Sciences in recognition of their distinguished and continued achievements in original research. Congratulations to our new #NASmembers and welcome to the Academy! 🎊
PCD OTM Scientific Conference: Registration is Open! - mailchi.mp/pcdfoundation.…
Probably the most accurate point to keep in mind from the whole @ErnLung PCD meeting these days, coming from @horaniLab: "there is no mild and severe PCD, all PCD is severe."
Do you want the NIH, policymakers and lawmakers to reverse the devastating cut on America's main investment in science infrastructure? Consider joining me in signing this petition: chng.it/kK2HMP5pGk
So privileged to work with and alongside a group of thoughtful and amazing scientists @washumedicine as part of the WASHU cilia Research Group with our fearless leaders @DutcherLab and @slbzz, and motile cilia group @horaniLab and @MahjoubLab .

The WASHU ciliopathy Research Group @washumedicine is on its way to the Gordon conference. @horaniLab @MahjoubLab @slbzz @DutcherLab will all present. Looking forward to discussing science. #pcd #cilia

Despite the uncertainties over science and research's future now adays, life needs to continue. The WASHU ciliopathy Research group and PCD and Rare lung disease center @washumedicine and @WashUPedsPulm is heading to a medical outreach mission to see PCD patients. #PCD #cilia



When David Clapham points and says “Cilia woman” you know he really means Susan. With @DutcherLab @gdstormo @Pagliarini_Lab @RuiZhangWUSTL @AGhanbarpour
NIH grants drive more than $92.89 billion in economic activity across all 50 U.S. states and DC. It is estimated that every dollar of NIH funding generates $2.46 dollars of economic activity. So what you are bragging about is a more than $22 B hit to local economies across the US
Last year, $9B of the $35B that the National Institutes of Health (NIH) granted for research was used for administrative overhead, what is known as “indirect costs.” Today, NIH lowered the maximum indirect cost rate research institutions can charge the government to 15%, above…
Excited to share our recent work unraveling the effects of CCDC39/CCDC40 PCD variants on cilia. The result of years of work and collaborations of several members of the #washu ciliopathy group @washumedicine lead by @DutcherLab and @slbzz science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…
So excited to see our work published.
🚨New paper out!🚨 Excited to share the latest from our group. This 5yr long odyssey was led by Susan @DutcherLab and Steve Brody @slbzz. We address a key question: why do some PCD patients develop more severe lung disease than others? Check it out 👇 science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…
