VITAL PANDAS/PANS research is being threatened because of federal funding cuts at Columbia. Our children deserve better. Please donate what you can today! @DAgalliu https://t.co/3Ch2KakjSI

Dün hocam Dr. Dritan Agalliu, Columbia Üniversitesi'nde federal fonların kesilmesiyle başlayan postdoc işten çıkarmalarına dikkat çekti. Topluluğumuzdan gelen destek beni derinden duygulandırdı.

As of today @Columbia 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

Yesterday, my PI Dr. Dritan Agalliu spoke out about the recent layoffs of postdocs at Columbia due to terminated federal funding. I was deeply moved by the incredible support from our community.

Research at the Agalliu Lab will provide important insights into how the immune system & inflammation affect brain function, particularly in PANDAS/PANS kids. PPN is proud to support critical research being done by the Agalliu Lab & Dr. Uğur Akcan. https://t.co/tj94zWJjK9

PPN awards @AgalliuLab funding to support Dr. Uğur Akcan's study which will provide insight into the mechanisms by which the RXRA genetic risk factor identified in PANDAS children affects immune responses that trigger psychological changes, including OCD. https://t.co/tj94zWJjK9

@NIH On Monday F, T, P, and U awards at Columbia were terminated. Everyone is scrambling how to support students / postdocs. My postdoc Ugur Akcan @occludens lost his fellowship who supported his research on post-infectious CNS sequelae in the brain. This is a big loss for science.

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 @AgalliuLab as a gift at the end of 2024
