Thank you, @PhRMAfoundation for highlighting our work @UMBME!
#PhF24 awardee Dr. Alexandra Piotrowski-Daspit (@asap_data) of @UMBME is developing biodegradable nanoparticles that can carry #GeneTherapy drugs directly to lung cells to treat diseases like #CysticFibrosis.

NIH is not issuing awards. You may think that it's because they it is coming up with new directions of research...The apposite is true.
Here is a graph showing how many fewer new funding opportunities that NIH has posted over time.
-91%, a trend that started on Jan 2025.

I discuss the urgent crisis from the loss of federal support of science in the US and recent clinical gene editing breakthroughs with @WalterIsaacson & @amanpour on @AmanpourCoPBS, airing on @PBS tonight at 11 pm ET, and on @cnni earlier today. Pls share!

I was excited to attend and speak at #ASGCT2025 @ASGCTherapy, but then incredibly disappointed to be told I can’t bring my 3 month old daughter. Being an early career scientist and mother is challenging enough without additional barriers #WomenInSTEM #AcademicTwitter #momademia

BME Assistant Professor Anne Draelos is using A.I. and bioinformatics to reveal the hidden networks of the brain, and explores how gaining this understanding could improve lives. Listen to her recent Michigan Medicine podcast interview: michiganmedicine.org/fundame…
Woohoo! So well deserved @jensenkarinj!

Got the sweetest gift from #DYNAMEDLab members during lab meeting today, complete with #RNA! Mama^3 coming soon! #momademia
Very much enjoyed meeting @SuziePun today and chatting over breakfast together with @maria_mcoronel and Jim Weiland! Looking forward to the @UMBME Hunt Lecture later today!
First #IMPOWER #DEI Bookclub in the books! It was fun to do this one with my @UM_PCCM colleagues inspired by the one @MorrisBioEng and I ran in @UMBME. Thanks @meilan_han for supporting this initiative and @mpirzad for serving as our #IMPOWER lead!
Yay for early voting in Michigan! Excited to vote in my second election since becoming a citizen in 2020 ✅
