As a former IRTA fellow I am grateful that I had to work at the NIDDK/NIH with scientists like Francis Collins. #NIH #medsky #science

Image of quote reading NIH is the largest supporter of biomedical research in the world. It is the main piston of a biomedical engine that is the envy of the globe. Yet it is not a household name. It should be.
When you hear about patients surviving stage 4 cancer because of immunotherapy, that was based on NIH research over many decades. When you hear about sickle-cell disease being cured because of CRISPR gene editing, that was built on many years of research supported by NIH.” - Francis Collins, MD
