For decades, government funding “has positioned the United States as a global leader” in science, says scientist Tom Maniatis of @zuckermanbrain.bsky.social and the New York Genome Center. He highlights how a new #NIH policy cutting money for research “jeopardizes” this, in Cell tinyurl.com/ubw6uphe

Former NIH director Dr. Harold Varmus joins us to discuss what cuts to the institutes’ staff and research funding could mean for science.

Super happy to announce the latest work from my lab together with Hemali Phatnani @nygenome.org & NYGC ALS Consortium! We've combined ALS patient profiling (100s!), ML classifiers and matched bulk/single-cell data to dive into ALS Molecular Subtypes #NIHfundedResearch www.cell.com/cell-reports...
