Video: How the Big Beautiful Bill will degrade science, public safety, and the US economy. https://t.co/XwIBRmo305 I made a video to show how NIH-university partnerships benefit society, and how Trump Administration policies have dismantled this essential pipeline.

Work from our lab by @JeanieTan10 featured in Washington Post and cover of Chicago Tribune. It highlights a partnership between our local Boys & Girls Club and UIC to engage middle school students in STEM careers via real biomedical research!
When Camarria Williams, 13, stumbled upon goose poop in a neighborhood park, she enthusiastically scooped some up. She soon learned, with university researchers’ help, that her goose poop contained a cancer-fighting compound.

@WritesofMurph just told a super cool story about middle schoolers doing antibiotic discovery from bacteria isolated from soil (or in one case, goose poop) @UICPharm. Nice work! 💩 🦠 #ICNPR2024

Ovarian cancer is particularly hard to detect. New research from @UICPharm and @UICancerCenter used cutting-edge techniques to identify a new biomarker that offers hope for effective routine screening — possibly even at home. https://t.co/kcSLze6zCt
