Today I was deeply touched. Riley, chose to forgo her birthday gifts and instead ran a fundraiser to support #PCD research to help her brothers, Mavrick and Conard, and thousands more like them. I turly appreciate their generous donation to the @horaniLab for PCD research.

Hard at work deciphering cilia! I am really proud of Nicholas Hadas for being accepted to the PhD program in Bioinformatics at the Francis Crick Institute in the UK.

This is a quick read summarizing what many of us have been seeing the past several years..

Merry Christmas to all my colleagues. I am thrilled to spend the holiday with a very very dear friend of mine, Dr Kareem Azab, from UT Southwestern. Drinking coffee as only a scientists might understand 😊

I gave talks at 4 meetings the past 2 months. However, I am particularly excited to be invited by my former Chief, Tom Ferkol, to present at U of North Carolina. Together with my research mentor, now collaborator, Steven Brody, he is a main reason I work in cilia and PCD.

I am excited to share our latest preprint describing a comparative transciptomic analysis between primary ciliary dyskinesia and cystic fibrosis. The more we understand the pathways driving disease the better equipped we are to find a cure.

I would like to share a Guideline-in-Focus episode that summarizes the recently published ERS/ATS PCD diagnosis guidelines. These guidelines are an important step in standardizing our approach to #PCD diagnosis across the world.

The ERS/ATS guidelines for the diagnosis of Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia are available online publications.ersnet.org/cont…
The panel gives strong recommendation for use of HSVM, IF, and nNO as adjunct tests to TEM and/or genetics for PCD diagnosis

New ATS/ERS guidelines available very soon! If you missed today’s presentation, do not miss the guidelines session at the # ERSCongress on Monday (9:30am - room 7A).

If you have a patient with suspicion of #PCD
Good for you to think of it. Now follow the new ERS/ATS diagnostic guideline, now in press

It is bitter sweet to say goodbye to my patients. Last week was tough for the WASHU PCD and Rare lung team, as we saw 4 patients graduate to the adult side. I had the privilege to care for some for almost 15 years. I am glad to share their journey and be part of their lives.

I'm pleased to share this work now published in @PLOSBiology! Since our preprint, we've uncovered exciting new links connecting CCDC66 to actin, vesicular trafficking, and Wnt signaling, and revealed how these contribute to CCDC66's ciliary functions. See link below!

New preprint alert! We've uncovered the role of the microtubule-associated protein Ccdc66 in maintaining the stability and disassembly of the primary cilium. Our findings reveal how Ccdc66 depletion leads to unstable cilia and affects signaling pathways like Hedgehog and Wnt.

The whole WashU cilia group got together for a BBQ to celebrate Susan @DutcherLab election to the #NAS 🙌
Good weather, great food, and better company! 🍻
