#StandUpForSciencePhilly

I was very encouraged to hear
@davemccormick.bsky.social
talk about the role the NIH plays in driving job creation and economic activity in PA this morning. A #StrongNIH powers health and economic progress in PA and ensures American preeminence in biomedical research. #PPFPHillDay #SciPol

Honored to be on the Hill today with AAI. A strong NIH strengthens the economy, promotes safe and effective therapies, and ensures America’s preeminence in biomedical research. #PPFPHillDay #SciencePolicy #ResearchAdvocacy #ImmunologyAdvocacy

NIH doesn’t just support infectious disease research—it drives breakthroughs in cancer, childhood diseases, heart disease, diabetes & more.

Thanks to NIH, we have:
💉 Cancer immunotherapy
❤️ Cholesterol-lowering statins
🩸 Insulin for diabetes

Investing in NIH = investing in life-saving discoveries.

In a new paper, Wistar’s Villanueva lab has discovered a new strategy to treat melanomas harboring mutations in the NRAS gene that don’t respond to MAPK inhibitors. Their treatment kills these mutant melanoma cells in preclinical testing with FDA-approved drugs. Our story: bit.ly/411yfwB

Such an exciting time for IL27 @cytokinesociety.bsky.social @kingofpathogens.bsky.social

Every cancer case starts somewhere, While new treatments are vital, prevention is just as key to protecting health. That’s why researchers at Wistar’s Ellen and Ronald Caplan Cancer Center pursue research to detect risks early & stop cancer in its tracks. #nationalcancerpreventionmonth

Make no mistake, the freezing of federal funding will have wide-reaching implications across the country. Citizens who rely on federal grants for income, children who depend on federal programs to be fed, small businesses who pay their people with federal dollars not making payroll. This is very bad

Vaccines have worked SO WELL that we've not only eradicated numerous devastating diseases, we've also eradicated the memory of just how bad they were.

All NIH study sections canceled indefinitely. This will halt science and devastate research budgets in universities.
