Dr. Hauser is a legend🤍. Humbled to be around him and his innovations at Department of Neurology @UCSF
The 2025 Breakthrough Prize in Life Sciences goes to Alberto Ascherio, who showed the key risk factor for multiple sclerosis is infection with the Epstein-Barr virus; and to Stephen Hauser, who discovered central mechanisms of the disease and developed life-changing treatments

This grant was so important :(
“That amounts to 45 different studies that were designed to uncover the biological mechanisms that may drive.. #LongCovid… these studies were nearly complete. In most cases, researchers had already finished data collection.”

Today marks five years since COVID-19 was declared a pandemic. For millions, including Scripps Research senior program director @julialmv, the crisis isn’t over. In a new @usnews op-ed, she shares her experience with Long COVID and lessons we must learn.

Don’t forget the lessons learned: We need vaccines, masks and ventilation to prevent the next pandemic.

Happy to be a part of this one!
(1) We are happy to share our new study, “SARS-CoV-2 brainstem encephalitis in human inherited DBR1 deficiency” @JExpMed! https://t.co/WIRWBLH9RJ. Accumulation of RNA lariats results in impaired antiviral immunity in hPSC-derived hindbrain neurons, underlying encephalitis.

Mega study from our lab in Nature Medicine! Absolutely fresh! Congratulations Colin, Micheal and team!
A really groundbreaking study that has the potential to identify patients at risk for developing MS years in advance. Congrats to @ColinZamecnik @gavin_sowa, Michael Wilson and team! https://t.co/OOagBygj1P

Layers of complication in Indian academia one after another. Where will we UR candidates go? This js so upsetting :(
Curse of #Reservation!! General students even after getting AIR 1 ,There is no seat for Radiology in #AIIMS. Leaders have ruined the country in the name of vote bank. ★AIIMS have specific Internal reservation also for AIIMS students #MedTwitter

Stop giving PhD degrees when India cant produce jobs! I am sure this is not just iiserm but every institute in India.
1931 candidates applied for 17 Assistant Professors Posts at @IiserMohali That's a selection rate of 0.8% All these candidates have PhDs with at least 3 years of postdoc.

What a wonderful talk by @ritu_trivedi @CSIR_CDRI on how to keep an equilibrium between research & personal life to come out as a winner. An important message for all, specifically for women, was to ‘HANG ON’ amidst all personal/professional challenges. #YIM2024 @IndiaBioscience
