@honeywell, Your technician came in to change the meter as part of Piedmont. It caused a gas and water leak from our heater, which was perfectly fine. Your tech told us that it was our responsibility. This is unfair, unacceptable and wrong. Please do the right thing and fix this

Saying good luck to all the new residents starting this week, especially our recent Meharry graduates! You’re beginning an exciting, challenging, and deeply meaningful chapter in your medical journey.

Residency will test you, but Meharry has prepared you.

CBS Evening News “Eye on America” looks @MeharryMedical’s role among the four HBCU health science centers, and the personal experience of Meharry’s own Dr. Dontal Johnson as part of their story addressing the U.S. shortage of Black physicians.

This study is exciting as it provides evidence for a direct and functional role of Cyclophilin A in HIV-1 integration, a previously unknown role of this host factor in the nucleus of an infected cell.

[Chandravanu "CV" Dash @cdas73]

Check out our latest paper entitled "Cyclophilin A Facilitates HIV-1 Integration." published in the Journal of Virology @ASMicrobiology.
