Ten years ago, my oldest son would come to the lab with me and watch me count "circles," aka viral plaques. Now he's shadowing members of my lab and working on college applications.

The NIH’s 2024 budget of just under $37B generated $95B in economic activity in 2024 alone. 99.4% of new pharmaceuticals approved from 2010-2019 came from NIH-funded research. I’m hard pressed to think of anything that generates as much direct economic benefit as our NIH did before they destroyed it
TAPPER: 14 Republicans say you're risking undermining critical research by holding up NIH funding
VOUGHT: If they were a company, their stock price would in shambles. They in some respects caused the pandemic. You have an entire institute that does nothing more than DEI research at the NIH.

I'm proud to share that I have been promoted to Associate Professor with tenure. I'm thankful for all the mentors who have encouraged me over the years. Also, thank you to my lab members, past and present. Without you, none of this would have been possible!

We set out to quantify U.S. academic contributions to medicines. The results stunned even us
From 2020 to 2024, universities contributed patents underpinning 50% of FDA-approved drugs. 87% of those academic breakthroughs came from American institutions.
