Imagine if you woke up this morning and found that the NIH-funded database that holds all of the data that you and thousands of other scientists around the world consult every day was turned off. Gone. Despite many efforts by a community of scientists to lobby NIH NIH Director

Looking forward to Connor’s dissertation defense. The Agalliu Lab will be there for support.

Go Connor Monahan !!!!

Congratulations Connor Agalliu Lab on successfully defending your thesis!🎊🍾 All the best Dr. for your journey ahead!✨

Congratulations to our very own Connor on his incredible defense!! We are so proud of you and very excited for what the future holds!! 😍😍🥳🥳#drconnorinthehouse

Congratulations to our favorite future double doctor Mary Claire on a spectacular defense today! You are truly a science star, and we wish you the very best on your return to the clinic!! 💫✨ #onedoctoratedown #onetogo

Lab brunch to celebrate the defenses of Connor + Mary Claire!! 🥳🙌🥳🥂

The path to scientific discoveries is not easy and requires a lot of funding. If you are interested in us continuing our work to unravel the mechanisms by which Group A Strep trigger PANDAS/PANS in the brain please consider DONATING to the Agalliu Lab as a gift at the end of 2024

Extraordinary and chilling news out of Vanderbilt. Expect peer institutions to show higher yields on offers. At Hopkins CMM JHU , we will admit, but make fewer offers out of an abundance of caution. vanderbilthustler.com/2025/02/15/gra…

Finally, someone is reporting on how funding of new NIH grants is effectively frozen due to an administrative block 👇 Grants already submitted cannot be reviewed, and grants already reviewed with excellent scores cannot be funded. This is the opposite of "efficiency".

We are extremely grateful to PANDAS PHYSICIANS NETWORK for their support of Dr. Ugur Akcan ( Uğur AKCAN ) to continue his studies on the mechanisms by which RXRA affects immune responses in PANDAS/PANS after he lost his NIH fellowship. Thank you!!!!!

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…

Thank you to everyone who has supported my postdoc Ugur Akcan and his research to elucidate how PANDAS/PANS is triggered in the brain. We still need more help to reach our goal in order to support Ugur for an additional year while NIH funding is terminated. Thank you!! ♥️♥️

Jason Shepherd Thank you Jason Shepherd. Unfortunately we will have to resort everything to keep the young scientist careers alive in the middle of this awful situation.
