My lab works on Alzheimer disease (AD), the sixth leading cause of death in the U.S. While this administration seeks to slash biomedical research to the tune of 4 billion dollars a year, the healthcare costs associated with AD treatment alone is projected to exceed $1 trillion by 2050.

For decades, NIH funding has fueled breakthroughs in cancer, heart disease and more. But a new policy puts progress at risk. We need Congress to oppose this abrupt change. Join me in emailing lawmakers today! #SaveNIHresearch bit.ly/4hxmfsK

Hi 👋🏻, my name is Mat Victor and I’m a new PI!
Beginning every new career stage feels like a cliff dive. This one is by far the biggest one yet.
Just want to shout out all other junior faculty out here. Let’s try to trust that we can do hard things.
Hoping to connect. Follow for follow!

The biopharma industry, a major beneficiary of academic research, has largely stayed quiet
As outcry builds over Trump cuts to NIH payments, drugmakers are MIA
Drugmakers — major beneficiaries of NIH-backed university research — have been largely silence on the Trump administration's cuts to agency research payments.

Many in biotech/private sector are boasting about their ways of funding and doing science
But they are staffed with PhDs and postdocs we train in our NIH and NSF funded labs in universities
With university labs lacking funds to train, the private sector will be profoundly harmed
