Although hundreds of viral transcriptional regulators (vTRs) have been identified, we know little about the host pathways they rewire to promote replication and persistence or their mechanisms of action. In our new paper, we addressed this gap across human viruses. 🧵 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Functional characterization of viral transcriptional regulators reveals extensive rewiring of host pathways - Nature Communications
The authors here show how viral transcriptional regulators reprogram human gene activity through diverse mechanisms, revealing shared strategies used by different viruses to control host pathways and ...

Excited to share this collaborative review with @dsegre.bsky.social and @devmoy.bsky.social. We discuss common issues with context-specific genome-scale metabolic network models and provide recommendation for future model development.

Exited to share our recent work on viral cis-regulatory elements in collaboration with @tewhey.bsky.social! We identified >2000 CREs across the genomes of 27 human-infecting dsDNA viruses from the Herpesvirus, Adenovirus, Papillomavirus, and Polyomavirus families. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... 1/8

Deaths from heart disease down 75%, that’s NIH. Deaths from stroke down 75%, that’s NIH. HIV/AIDS no longer a death sentence, that’s NIH. 99% of FDA approved drugs in the last decade, that’s NIH. Please show this video to anyone who doesn’t understand why the NIH is so important.

Scientists are unfairly and devastatingly seeing their grants cut and careers thrown into uncertainty, yet are still working 24/7 to continue their research, treat patients, talk to journalists, advocate with elected officials, and keep the public informed about potential threats. Absolute heroes!

There are days in life that shake you. I’m shattered 💔 to share that I just found out that the US Government terminated my 2024 NIH Director’s Early Independence Award (~$2 million), threatening my long-promised assistant professor job at Columbia University & academic career... 1/🧵

Scientists have just cured pancreatic cancer in some patients with personalized mRNA vaccines. Pancreatic cancer. And this Trump administration wants to throw it all away. They’re throwing away a cure for cancer.

This is horrible to post, but I may as well post it. We are essentially shutting down research operations in my group, which is focused on treatments for pediatric brain cancer. I’m a well funded investigator, and there’s no choice. Science can’t function without the stability of NIH

This framing is their framing, and NYT took the bait. The correct and accurate framing is: “Deep cuts to medical research threatens progress on cancer and heart disease research, costs the economy $80B, and threatens 300,000 jobs across red and blue states”

Trump & Musk are making massive cuts to the National Institutes of Health. I know there is a lot going on right now, but this is one of worst things they have done so far, will affect cancer research and trials, the search for cures, innovation and competitiveness, our universities. Your lives.

NIH doesn’t just support infectious disease research—it drives breakthroughs in cancer, childhood diseases, heart disease, diabetes & more. Thanks to NIH, we have: 💉 Cancer immunotherapy ❤️ Cholesterol-lowering statins 🩸 Insulin for diabetes Investing in NIH = investing in life-saving discoveries.
