Congratulations to Society for Developmental Biology 2025 West Coast Regional undergraduate poster winners (left to right): 1st place- William Stoehr (Rogers lab), honorable mention- Abigail Hart (Woo lab), 2nd place- Jacob Fischer (Long lab).

Grateful for the NATIONAL EYE INSTITUTE #NEI that supports this work. Eye directed research is critical to help us develop understanding and therapies that preserve vision Michael F. Chiang, MD

I just wanted to take a minute and thank everyone who’s been supportive in the wake of the federal funding freeze. If you’re as concerned as I am about the federal government withholding funds from UCLA, we could really use your help. #StandUpForUC: bit.ly/standuc

Thrilled our R01 was converted to a 7 year R37 award! This collaborative project between UMD Bioengineering Fischell Institute for Biomedical Devices Calla Health Foundation University of Maryland School of Medicine will enable us to test our low-cost gel ethanol ablation therapy in a phase 1 clinical trial 😎

I’m ecstatic to share that I have officially received the K99/R00 award by the NIH-NIAID!! I am forever grateful to my mentors DeBroski Wenqin Luo, Penn Vet Penn Medicine, and my husband nuriblot for supporting my career! I am eager to start my lab on 🧠💉🪱 interactions!

New study investigates the use of near-infrared reflectance imaging in diagnosing ocular syphilis by highlighting its role in detecting & monitoring subtle outer retinal changes. Findings include: ✅ White dots ✅ Granular pattern ✅ Geographic reflectivity changes ✅ New

Incredible work by Joshua Weitz and team making the devastating consequences of proposed NIH funding cuts impossible to ignore. This is how we communicate core issues: simple, direct and personally applicable.

Federal funding helped make it possible for UC to develop breakthroughs that bring us closer to ending cancer—and developing new technologies to detect and combat illnesses like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s faster than ever before. Cutting funding is dangerous, for all of us.

R01 A1 with NINDS scored at 12%. Because of the funding mess these days, resubmitted it as a new A0 version in a hope to get an even better score and have it finally funded. Undiscussed 🤯
