Harvard Chan scientists participate in a rigorous application process for federal grants to conduct their vital health research. The government has now terminated nearly every single one of those grants.

Antibiotic research at Harvard lab threatened by federal funding cuts Microbiologist Michael Baym studies antibiotic resistance at Harvard Medical School. He lost millions in federal funding this week.

@baym.lol is an exceptional scientist, a valued colleague, & a wonderful mentor (with a great sense of humor). Please do take a few minutes to listen to his story here.
The deleterious impact to science, scientists, students, & the economy (cc: @kairyssdal.bsky.social) is unfolding in front of us

Separating anorexia-dependent and -independent effects in cancer cachexia Cancer cachexia is characterized by unintentional weight loss and wasting away of fat and muscle tissues. Anorexia, or reduced food intake, is often implicated as a contributor to the negative energy ...

Happy to share our work on cancer cachexia. #CANCAN @cancergrand.bsky.social @met-hsph.bsky.social www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Sarah Fortune’s groundbreaking research on tuberculosis—the deadliest disease in the world—based at Harvard Chan School, is among a number of research enterprises in jeopardy due to federal funding freezes targeted at Harvard University and other research institutions.

Federal funding drives groundbreaking research at Harvard Chan School | Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health Harvard Chan faculty conduct groundbreaking research that has led directly to lifesaving vaccines, treatments, policies, and programs.

With support from federal funding, @hsph.harvard.edu faculty have conducted groundbreaking research that has led directly to treatments, policies, and programs that have saved lives by the millions, in the US and around the world.

Happy to share the final version of this work where we incorporated isotope labeled CO2 data into mass spectrometry based flux analysis, resulting in a flux model that depicts at the whole-body level functioning of energy metabolism in health and disease.
