Manufacturing CAR T cells in the laboratory is expensive and time-consuming.

An in vivo approach could get this powerful therapy to more people

Just got word that our Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI) Inclusive Excellence 3 (IE3) Grant was being canceled. All 100+ institutions. So even private funding is susceptible to this administration’s unraveling of DEI initiatives

If you're wondering why scientists are freaking the fuck out about what's being described as a pause in spending, I have written an article just for you:
Science at risk: The funding pause is more damaging than you might think
Research that helps drive our economy is on hold and may face new ideological limits.

i miss researching and creating knowledge.
I am working now in the clinical trial space facilitation the translation of research into treatments.. but oh my ..are we far from creating accessible, innovative treatments for patients with neurological illnesses. That gotta change

So pretty!
Terrific first paper from the Liu's lab on the role of CXCL12/CXCR4 signaling in the lymphatic vasculature (and also they got the cover)! Congratulations Xiaolei and many more papers to come

Women are under-represented at senior levels in #academia globally, & across all #science 🧪 disciplines, as shown by these "scissor-shaped curves" ✂️

So how can we ever achieve #gender #equality?

We discuss various strategies in this #Cell Commentary

Happy to see our first preprint out about human meninges! Excited about the fast progress and impact of the field. Here some little extra protein labeling (layers not perfectly scaled to each other) that didnt make it into the paper www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Made it to Bluesky!

Bittersweet feelings about finishing my last ever lab day! 🥲
Happy to at least do some exciting microscopy before moving on to post PhD adventures!
