Madison’s genome held clues researchers couldn’t yet explain. Erin Conboy, MD, and her team at IU’s Undiagnosed Rare Disease Clinic revisited the findings, helping bring answers to her family and new insight into rare disease. Learn more: bit.ly/4sHJVAT

Curt Cignetti had plenty to say ahead of Indiana's first road test of the season, including high praise for Rutgers WR KJ Duff and his thoughts on the Hoosiers' progress through four games. Four takeaways from Thursday's radio show. #iufb si.com/college/indiana/footb…

Tonight is the 251st anniversary of Paul Revere’s midnight ride. If he were to make the same journey from Boston to Lexington today, he could stop at 7 Dunkin locations. (via Reddit)

Purchased a similar piece of equipment to work with cells over 20 years ago when we started the lab. We just had to replace it; it supported lots of hard work by amazing people, here’s to another 20!

I’m not sure how old this sign is but it’s amazing since it could never really be changed, and it’s still true, the course I teach in each year is postgraduate and on the 3rd floor, I hope it never disappears

Dave Ricks has been at @EliLillyandCo for 20% of its 150-year history. He came to the pub, poured his own Guinness, and gave us a 2-hour state of the pharma union: drug prices, clinical trials, patent clocks, the rise of generics, Chinese peptides, compounding pharmacies, the US healthcare system, and how the broad success of GLP-1s have transformed Lilly's business. If you've never heard Dave speak before, you're in for a treat.

Kidney diseases are a leading cause of death in the U.S. They affect 14% of adults, often without knowing it. IU researchers are mapping kidney cell types to improve diagnosis and open the door to more precise therapies. bit.ly/47HwKHE

🌍💙 Rare Disease Day 2025 💙🌍 Today, on Rare Disease Day, we recognize the millions of people worldwide living with rare diseases, including those affected by rare skeletal diseases such as osteogenesis imperfecta, juvenile Paget’s disease or osteopetrosis — just a few among the more than 400 developmental abnormalities of the skeletal system. Let’s unite to give a voice to those affected by rare diseases and work toward a world where treatment is within reach for everyone. #RareDiseaseDay #BoneHealthMatters #RareButNotForgotten

Last week, we proudly welcomed our 2024 cohort of IBMG students! 😄 We could not be more excited for this bright group of students to begin their PhD journey. To celebrate the big week, we ended our time at Game Show Battle Rooms with team building games and entertainment! 🥇

This afternoon, we welcomed Bill Gates as he toured labs at the Indiana University School of Medicine and met with key faculty members to learn more about the expansive Alzheimer’s disease research happening right here in Indianapolis.
