The court found that many of the individuals appointed to serve, and the recommendations made by the committee failed to meet the expert guidance and scientific rigor required.

How does sepsis alter T-cell function? Terrific new paper led by Matt Stier and colleagues @VUMC explores this using complementary single-cell methods www.nature.com/articles/s41...

This is an incredible accomplishment by the amazing transplant teams at VUMC - 149 lungs transplants (and a few more in dual-organ) in 2025. news.vumc.org/2026/01/14/v...

Great new work led by Aaron Kwok from @davisjmcc.bsky.social’s group. A tool to “denoise” contaminating transcripts from image based spatial data. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

A show of bipartisan support for NIH. Basically flat except for ARPA-H. The President’s budget proposal basically ignored (as it should have been).

So excited to share @saahimall.bsky.social just had her her first 1st author publication published in AJP lung! Huge accomplishment!!! This study wouldn't have been possible without the amazing @jensucre.bsky.social! journals.physiology.org/doi/abs/10.1...

Shout out to the WSJ journalists who reported on Vought’s impoundment by footnote, causing the White House to walk it back. Impact journalism!!

Congrats to @saahimall.bsky.social on her first study from her PhD! Also, science is always more fun when done with friends. Great to work as always with @jensucre.bsky.social and @jkropski.bsky.social!

New spatial paper from Saahi and VUMC/TGen LungMAP team with SCRI colleagues! @nebanovich.bsky.social @jensucre.bsky.social

Congratulations to Serges, Dawn, Tina and team! Single-cell insights into how early life RSV infection contributes to asthma risk. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Congratulations to our amazing IP colleagues - really important paper addressing approach to diagnosis of pulmonary nodules out in NEJM- www.nejm.org/doi/full/10....

So excited that our study made the cover of Nature Genetics this month!

How to get 146% return on investment? The NIH. That's just the economic benefit. Biomedical research promotes human health.
