Please spread the word for this RFA: Broadening Opportunities for Computational Genomics and Data Science Education. Note is is specifically for smaller institutions that are often left out of genomics research and education (<$25M of R01 funding) grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/r…

Are there professional associations for people involved in "bioinformatics as a service"? Bioinformatics Core directors, for example?

Thank you to our event organizers, presenters, and all those who attended the 4th Annual SQE Symposium!

Findings from Lurie Cancer Center investigators led by Hossein Ardehali, MD, PhD, suggest that reducing anabolism by reducing iron could be a potential treatment strategy for cancer, according to a study in Nature Cell Biology: news.feinberg.northwestern.edu/2023/09/25/inv… via Northwestern Feinberg School of Medicine #mTOR

Congratulations!

Our nation’s democratic system functioned last night and we have a new President-elect.  All Americans are bound, whether we like the outcome or not, to accept the results of our elections. We now have a special responsibility, as citizens of the greatest nation on earth, to do

If you heard about a master's degree in "biomedical informatics", what do you think a student would learn in such a program, and what would it prepare them for?

I expected that a decrease in Indirects was coming but this is catastrophic - a reduction to 15% with no phase in ramp will devastate the US research enterprise grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/n…

Here are some 🔥 takes regarding the recent announcement that NIH is slashing indirect cost rates from ~60% (at most insitutions) to 15%: reducing the overhead that NIH pays by 75%. This a massive $4 billion/year cut in funding to biomedical research centers in all states

10,000 employees laid off from HHS today under RFK Jr.’s orders. Massive cuts to FDA safety inspections, CDC disease surveillance, and NIH research. These aren’t just jobs - this is a staggering blow to America’s public health infrastructure.

Yesterday I saw a presentation on the current state of lung cancer treatment that included this plot of FDA approved medications available and it's really phenomenal to see the progress that has been made in developing new treatments for lung cancer. lungcancerresearchfoundation.org/wp-content/upl…
