I am proud of Ahmed Elgamal, a clinical postdoc in our lab for receiving the American Thoracic Society Abstract Scholarship Award, sponsored by the PCD Foundation. Congrats Ahmed ❤️
Join us tomorrow at session: A9 PRIMARY CILIARY DYSKINESIA IN A GENOMIC THERAPEUTIC ERA, #ATS2026 Orlando to discuss the greatest and latest in Primary ciliary dyskinesia updates.
Hard at work deciphering cilia! I am really proud of Nicholas Hadas for being accepted to the PhD program in Bioinformatics at the Francis Crick Institute in the UK.
This is a quick read summarizing what many of us have been seeing the past several years..

Merry Christmas to all my colleagues. I am thrilled to spend the holiday with a very very dear friend of mine, Dr Kareem Azab, from UT Southwestern. Drinking coffee as only a scientists might understand 😊
I gave talks at 4 meetings the past 2 months. However, I am particularly excited to be invited by my former Chief, Tom Ferkol, to present at U of North Carolina. Together with my research mentor, now collaborator, Steven Brody, he is a main reason I work in cilia and PCD.
I am excited to share our latest preprint describing a comparative transciptomic analysis between primary ciliary dyskinesia and cystic fibrosis. The more we understand the pathways driving disease the better equipped we are to find a cure.

I am excited to share our preprint of CiliaTrack, a novel machine learning approach to PCD diagnosis. Proud of Nicolas Hadas, a talented PhD candidate in my lab, for developing the code and his amazing work on this project.

I would like to share a Guideline-in-Focus episode that summarizes the recently published ERS/ATS PCD diagnosis guidelines. These guidelines are an important step in standardizing our approach to #PCD diagnosis across the world.

The ERS/ATS guidelines for the diagnosis of Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia are available online https://t.co/mwkAnW1gBC
The panel gives strong recommendation for use of HSVM, IF, and nNO as adjunct tests to TEM and/or genetics for PCD diagnosis
The European Respiratory Society and American Thoracic Society guidelines for the diagnosis of Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia are now available online https://t.co/mwkAnW1gBC
I am excited to share the new European Respiratory Society and American Thoracic Society guidelines for the diagnosis of Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia https://t.co/YPgqtBUXbr
New ATS/ERS guidelines available very soon! If you missed today’s presentation, do not miss the guidelines session at the # ERSCongress on Monday (9:30am - room 7A).
It is bitter sweet to say goodbye to my patients. Last week was tough for the WASHU PCD and Rare lung team, as we saw 4 patients graduate to the adult side. I had the privilege to care for some for almost 15 years. I am glad to share their journey and be part of their lives.
I'm pleased to share this work now published in @PLOSBiology! Since our preprint, we've uncovered exciting new links connecting CCDC66 to actin, vesicular trafficking, and Wnt signaling, and revealed how these contribute to CCDC66's ciliary functions. See link below!
As one of the world's largest biomedical research centers, @washumedicine is poised to lead game-changing health care breakthroughs in neuroscience, cancer, aging, and more. With you, this is what WashU can do. Learn more: https://t.co/YoC9O0r4Zt
#WashU
Time to celebrate.. the WASHU PCD Time is excited to see it's rank expand. We wish our expecting mom's all the best, and we can't wait to meet the little ones!
The whole WashU cilia group got together for a BBQ to celebrate Susan @DutcherLab election to the #NAS 🙌
Good weather, great food, and better company! 🍻
