#whyscience Day36 This one slide from David Altshuler at the @the_asci @JointMeeting says everything.
It shows the extraordinary increase in life expectancy for people with cystic fibrosis over the past few decades.
Here’s what science—and academic research—can do.

ERCSG Recap: Day2 (Friday) of the ERCSG meeting was packed with a remarkable series of high-caliber talks! 🌟
🧪 Prof. @PuellesVictor on tubules and cystic kidneys
🧬 Prof. Rachel Lennon @RLWczyk (I absolutely love her talks!) on podocytes, Alport syndrome, and podocyte biology
💡 Prof. Dr. @Tobias_B_Huber delivered an exceptional lecture — as always, outstanding!
🏥 Prof. Miriam Banas from Regensburg also gave a fantastic presentation!
I had the great pleasure of being the final keynote speaker, sharing insights on PEMP, podocytes, and diagnostics of Uniklinikum Greifswald & @NIPOKA_Podocyte .
The evening was rounded off with a fantastic dinner and great conversations, which continued later at the bar – a perfect opportunity to make and strengthen contacts! 😃

Replying to @ASNKidney
@ASNKidney News: Excellent presentation of our results by Dr. Daniel Gale (UK) during the Late Breaking News Session yesterday at @ASNKidney, showing the results of treating 3 Alport syndrome patients with a small molecule from @eloxx_pharma. My company, @NIPOKA_Podocyte, was able to quantify the beneficial effect of the treatment using PEMP analysis.
PEMP indicates the improvement of the foot processes of podocytes 🐙, which are essential for the size-selective filtration of the kidney. In addition, @NIPOKA_Podocyte has analyzed biopsies for certain collagen IV chains. The results are amazing with a great potential for treatment of patients!
Many thanks🙏 for the excellent collaboration with Dr. Daniel Gale, Sumit Aggarwal @eloxx_pharma, Dr. Rachel Lennon @RLWczyk, @Evotec and many others!

We at @wellcometrust have joined many UK science organisations in signing a letter to the chancellor ahead of the budget at the end of the month. It is crucial that the UK has stable, predictable investment in R&D, not wasteful stop-start funding. ft.com/content/fc00e578-f45c… via @ft

1/2 Big news 🗞️ Last year we asked you if you thought it was important for NHS England to include Alport genes in a newborn screening project. The study will test 100,000 newborns for rare genetic conditions which early diagnosis and treatment can make a difference for.
