By me: A generation of scientific talent is at the brink of being lost to overseas competitors by the Trump administration’s dismantling of the National Science Foundation (NSF), with unprecedented political interference jeopardizing the future of US enterprise.

Scientists warn US will lose a generation of talent because of Trump cuts
Political interference and chaotic cuts to staff, programs and grants at the National Science Foundation are producing ‘devastating consequences’

Could not be more proud and excited for @sadafamin.bsky.social as she begins her own lab at
@washumedicine.bsky.social very soon! Sadaf has been an amazing mentor, colleague and most importantly, friend, in our time in the @liganlab.bsky.social and I can't wait to see her succeed as a PI 🧠🔬❤️🧪😊

I am thrilled to announce that I will be starting my lab at
@washumedicine.bsky.social, Department of Pathology & Immunology as an Assistant Professor this month. The lab will study the role of innate immunity in neurodegeneration and brain aging. We'll be hiring at all levels. Details soon!

So proud to share my first first-author paper from my postdoc in @liganlab.bsky.social out yesterday in
@cp-immunity.bsky.social! We characterized a model of the APOE3 Christchurch mutation on a tauopathy background and found downregulation of cGAS-STING-IFN pathway as a source of protection!

🚨Our new paper is out!🚨 We uncover a protective mechanism of the rare APOE3 Christchurch (R136S) mutation against tauopathy—by suppressing microglial cGAS–STING–interferon (IFN) pathway, a key inflammatory axis triggered by tau. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
The R136S mutation in the APOE3 gene confers resilience against tau pathology via inhibition of the cGAS-STING-IFN pathway
The Christchurch mutation (R136S) in the APOE3 (E3S/S) gene is associated with attenuated tau load and cognitive decline despite the presence of a cau…
