Developmental biology and genetics in action! Many of the congenital disorders that occur in humans also occur in other animals.

We spent decades teaching people that cancer is mostly bad luck, bad genes, or bad habits.
Then you find out 2.3 million cases in a single year were attributable to infections.
Infections were responsible for 2.3 million new cancer cases in 2024, 12% of total global cases that year, a study has found.
The research found Helicobacter pylori to be the leading infectious cause of cancer

We're searching for an assistant/associate professor in Bioengineering at Stanford!
If you're using cutting-edge engineering approaches to understand or control biological systems in useful ways (medical, environmental, etc), we'd love to hear from you!

In anticipation of what to do if the NIH begins to evaporate as a viable mechanism to support American biomedical research Iโve written the two attached articles. One for young PhD scientists in @PLOSBiology, the other for MD/DO health professionals @BakerInstitute. These are admittedly imperfect papers since nothing can compensate for losses in NIH funds, but itโs a start. The good news is that you can still have a career in the U.S. but things wonโt be quite the same
