Yesterday, the NIH R35 “Outstanding Investigator” grant to fund scientists in my lab studying antibiotic resistance was terminated for reasons not related to the content of the science, or any actions taken by me or members of my lab

At 15, I left all my family and friends and came to the US , ALONE, seeking a country where MERIT and HARD WORK mattered-not politics. For 30 years, I worked tirelessly, even doing reseach at MIT the day my mother died, knowing she’d want me to keep pushing forward. Today, my grants-and my students’-earned through fair competition, have been terminated for political reasons. The America that once rewarded merit now feels no different from the country I fled.

1/ Thrilled to share an advancement in gene therapy from my PhD in @NatureComms! We've developed a new approach to reduce immune responses while maintaining efficiency—paving the way for safer, more effective therapies. Big thanks to @zhangf & @mircoscopy! https://t.co/eXZkpgiMXq

Our pre print is out on discovery and quantification of long distance RNA:RNA interactions. Try our new software SEISMIC -amazing work by @enzyMatty , super flexible , accurate , and fast for clustering alternative RNA structures and more !! #viruses https://t.co/SKFIiuzUXL

Our work from @brivanlou and Barrientos lab is out on biorxiv ! We find surprising Mito specific structures that are nothing like in vitro refolded ones and evidence for framshifting on mitochondria mRNA. Check it out !https://t.co/4MkBa1Squf
