Excited to share my new K01 work to understand chronic pain as an AD risk factor - a collaboration of the @VETSATwinStudy, @PanizzonLab, and investigators for the @RushMedical ROSMAP data. doi.org/10.1093/braincomms/f…

In other news, today the NIH proposed caping the maximum of grants at 2 per research lab, including collaborations. grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/… We're living in the upside down.

Lila Sciences may raise about $2 billion at an $8.5 billion valuation. That number looks incredible if you treat Lila as a normal AI biotech. It makes a little more sense (maybe!) if you treat it as a bet on a new R&D operating system. Lila’s pitch is AI Science Factories: AI systems connected to automated labs that generate hypotheses, design experiments, run them, learn from the results, and repeat. In other words: model, robot lab, experiment, data, repeat. The whole shebang. Or “scientific superintelligence” and “operating system for science," as Lila calls it. (3/7)

We present the LARGEST normative model of the brain’s white matter microstructure: 54,583 subjects, 4-91 yrs, 19 datasets. We derived lifespan centile curves for DTI FA, MD, RD, AD, detecting anomalies for dementia, and Mild Cognitive Impairment: doi.org/10.1038/s41467-026-7… ⤵️

Can hsCRP help us identify an "inflammatory phenotype" in knee osteoarthritis? New data from the NIH-funded MOST Study (n=792) suggests the answer is likely no. Read more from George et al. - oarsijournal.com/article/S10…

New paper in Nature Communications! We mapped trajectories of multiple tau species in plasma & CSF across the AD continuum. Different tau species change at distinct stages: %p-tau217 earliest, MTBR-tau243 later, highlighting stage-specific biology. 🔗nature.com/articles/s41467-0…

The new @NIH SciENcv Biosketch pissed me off so much today (lost 4 hours of my life) that I built a quick NIH Biosketch format converter. It lets you format each section while seeing both the preview and the HTML code at the same time. It restored my sanity, a little. Enjoy.
