As of today Columbia University has not received ANY of the terminated funding and many non-competitive renewal of federal grants. Therefore, last week the university starting laying off postdocs. If you care about PANDAS research please support my postdoc joinus.cuimc.columbia.edu/index.cfm?fuse…

🚨 URGENT: The Trump admin is trying to turn NIH research grants into political favors. All Institute Directors and Division heads would become political appointees, meaning your cancer research, Alzheimer's studies, or rare disease funding could depend on political loyalty,

As we all age, we accumulate mtDNA mutations, but what underlies this hockey stick pattern? See our new pre-print: we treat mtDNA SNV burden as a "trait" and use GWAS to uncover the mechanism in blood. Led by newly minted MD-PhD Rahul Gupta w/ NealeLab /labneale.bsky.social. shorturl.at/IqYY8

The FY26 HHS Budget in Brief has been released. It outlines how the existing NIH institutes & centers will be combined into eight (with only NCI, NIA & NIAID retaining their original structure). There are 40% cuts proposed in NIH budget (including the NCI). 😢 Cancer Research 📉

Excited to unveil Boltz-2, our new model capable not only of predicting structures but also binding affinities! Boltz-2 is the first AI model to approach the performance of FEP simulations while being more than 1000x faster! All open-sourced under MIT license! A thread… 🤗🚀

My lab's first paper is out in nature. We show that lipoprotein uptake protects tumors from ferroptosis by delivering the lipid antioxidant α-tocopherol. Surprisingly, tumors use sulfated glycosaminoglycans—not canonical receptors—to capture lipoproteins. nature.com/articles/s4158…

🚨🎉 Thrilled to share my first paper - now out in nature! Incredibly grateful to Javier Garcia-Bermudez for his mentorship and the support of our Children’s Research Institute at UT Southwestern community. Excited to keep pushing this work forward in the lab!
