Proud to advocate for NIH funding today at the @standupforscience.bsky.social event in Boston - from basic science to disease focused and translational research.

Today in Boston! We will be there - taking full advantage of maternity leave to bring both kids as well because the situation is dire. Let’s go!

Rare Disease Day 2025: it’s hard to celebrate this with the NIH budget cuts, threats to Medicaid funding and lawsuit to end Section 504 Disability rights - all of which will severely impact individuals with rare diseases like my daughter Margot. We wear our stripes, we advocate and we fight!

Welcome to the Bluesky account for Stand Up for Science 2025! Keep an eye on this space for updates, event information, and ways to get involved. We can't wait to see everyone #standupforscience2025 on March 7th, both in DC and locations nationwide! #scienceforall #sciencenotsilence

Proud of our @bmeunite.bsky.social Future Faculty Program for receiving the Society for Biomaterials DEI Award biomaterials.org/publications... - we have mentored over 60 post-doc fellows over 4 years.

The Oudin lab is currently attending the joint @keystonesymposia.bsky.social meeting on Neural Influence of Cancer and TME - check out our work on tumor innervation, bioelectricity and chemoresistance.

Excited to see this paper out - Cenobamate has helped Margot so much and I hope this data will help expand access for pediatric patients.

Proud to share our daughter’s story for Infantile Spasms Awareness Week - a catastrophic form of epilepsy caused by her SCN8A genetic mutation which led us to start new research to develop novel treatments for pediatric epilepsies. Listen here: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/s...
