Academic medical centers are on the cutting edge of patient care. Why? Because they have the most talented physician-scientists…the doctors who skillfully combine clinical care and research. But NIH funding cuts could make it harder to attract top talent.

Thank you to the wonderful @NIH funded scientists who’ve labored over decades to bring a therapeutic that could ultimately save the life of this beautiful baby boy.

Who wouldn’t want this remarkable innovation accessible if they needed it?

Right @RobertKennedyJr?
