Design of study using sequencing of B and T cell receptor and A.I. models to unravel information about infections and autoimmune conditions

Other than the brain, our immune system is the most complex part of the human body. For the first time, sequencing receptors of B and T cells, along w/ generative A.I., enabled diagnosis of medical conditions such as lupus. That's just for starters. erictopol.substack.com/p/the-first-...

One wonders whether this is simply a (pretty unorthodox) opening salvo for subsequent negotiations ? Plenty of institutions in red states have rates ~50% and MDACC has 62% if I am not mistaken, so everyone gets affected obviously....

The NIH overhead cut doesn't just hurt universities.

It's deadly to the US economy.

The US is a world leader in tech due to the ecosystem that NIH and NSF propel. It drives innovation for tech transfer, creates a highly-skilled sci/tech workforce, and fosters academic/industry crossfertilization.

University GCs are, I'm sure, talking about this or getting some rest (if they can) for a long battle ahead.

I would suggest that we don't become armchair lawyers here.

Let's focus on how to communicate the impact of implementing this on health, our communities, and the ability of the US to lead.
