Huge relief to have finally received this R01 funding award so we can move the needle forward on defining how lysosomal ion dysregulation causally contributes to ischemic heart disease. Stay tuned…big things to come 😊

“I am faculty and want to stay as long as I can [to] support my lab and students, but if the NIH is dramatically cut we may not have a choice to stay in the US,”

So many of us are grabbling with these same feelings right now. So sad, but also reassuring to know I’m not alone.

The hits just keep coming for this cohort. First f*cked by COVID and now these delays and obstructions. We need to pursue creative funding strategies and keep the pipeline flowing.

We've been studying mechanisms of resilience that protect lysosomes from damage and wrote a review on the topic. We consider lysosomal stress and damage on a spectrum. Please help me share as this is my first post 😀 and I don't have many followers! 🙏 Open Access: www.embopress.org/doi/full/10....

In the face of these atrocious NIH cuts, I’m reposting this in case it can be of any help. Please feel free to reach out directly if you have any questions.
My lab is looking for an enthusiastic postdoc interested in studying lysosomal signaling dynamics in cardiac health and disease. Those especially interested in development & use of targeted biosensors and dynamic super-resolution imaging are encouraged to apply. www.nature.com/naturecareer...
