15% of the drugs in the US’s development pipeline were made by companies headquartered in MA, which wouldn't be possible w/o government investments. Funding cuts leave this ecosystem at risk. Learn more in @BostonGlobe.

Is animal testing becoming obsolete? Not yet, but on yesterday’s episode of @OnPointRadio, I spoke with @MeghnaWBUR about it's used in drug development and how Organ Chips, organoids, and AI, might be used to enhance, and one day replace, these methods.

The Trump administration has launched a Blitzkrieg on science and academic freedom. As researchers, we must use our voices to advocate for science to protect patients, the economy, and truth itself. Read more in my op-ed in @TheScientistLLC.

I’m so excited to announce the publication of this important paper in @BioMedCentral showing the value of Organ Chips for personalized medicine and clinical care in esophageal adenocarcinoma.

Whether it’s due to concerns for animal welfare or a desire for more successful clinical trials, more people are recognizing the importance of finding more accurate alternatives to animal models, like Organ Chips. Read more from @business.

Boston’s high concentration of top universities, world-class hospitals, and venture capital firms makes it a perfect ecosystem for biotech innovation, but it's also left us vulnerable to the impact of political decisions. Read more from @TheEconomist.

I spoke with Roland Pease on the @BBC's Science in Action about the timeline for scientific innovation, the valuable partnership between the U.S. Federal Government & universities, & the economic, intellectual, & medical impacts of recent funding freezes.

Why should you care if scientific funding shrinks & academic institutions are under attack? University research drives innovation, job creation, & economic growth. Cuts threaten America's technological & economic leadership. Read more and share:.

When @ailsachang from @NPR interviewed me, she asked how I felt receiving the stop work orders. I was surprised and incredibly frustrated, but I remain proud to be a Harvard faculty member because we must speak truth to power. Listen here:

The @NIH is adopting an initiative to expand human-based models like Organ Chips. This tech, commercialized by @emulateinc, enables faster, better, & cheaper drug development. We'll see more successful clinical trials & better treatments.

For anyone who cares about their neighbors & the health of their loved ones, let's fight again for freedom. Now, it's not about taxation without representation; it's about science funding cessation without justification. If this resonates, please share.

When women spend 25% more time in poor health than men, the news that the government is slashing funding to the pivotal Women's Health Initiative highlights the importance of supporting & talking about women's health. Read more from @statnews:
