Powerful speech from @brownlab1.bsky.social on need for state-level funding of early research to keep smart folks in NYS and boost retention of startups/industry offshoots! Long term ($$$) stems from smart investment ($) @sinaiimmuno.bsky.social @drshrutinaik.bsky.social @miriammerad.bsky.social

The rules of immunity are different in early life! Lead author Dr. Yue Xing finds that early life DCs sense allergens and trigger inflammation directly in skin. This in-situ activation state emerges from a developing HPA and low glucocorticoids. #Naiklab @nature.com

Immunologists Push for State Biomedical Research Funding in New York - AAI News Dr. Shruti Naik is one of the immunologists in New York state behind NY-CURES, advocating for state investment in biomedical research.

Wondering why you should ✍ our petition? c.org/nDnRNSsVcq

In @aai.org, founder @drshrutinaik.bsky.social reveals why the coalition was formed, why NY needs a state-backed research institute, and how scientists should organize for systemic support β€” here and nationwide.

It costs ~$70 to produce a year’s supply of insulin.

Yet, the average annual cost of insulin went from $2,864 in 2012 to $5,705 in 2016 to $18,000 in 2025. A 25,714% markup. That isn’t inflation or supply chainβ€”It’s corporate greed.

Nowβ€”California will sell insulin for $11. Make this nationwide!

Immunotherapy researcher Miriam Merad from Icahn Mount Sinai says the reason that cancer research has slowed is because of funding issues, which is something taxpayers don’t have to accept.
