Cancer research takes a community 💪🏽 Great to host @bikeVeloSano 10 year partner team @Oatey_Co for a tour of @CCLRI today - in the past decade, they have raised >$1.7 million to support research! 🙏🏾 for visiting!

Great first day at SNO with labmates and collaborators…Looking forward to the rest of the meeting! #SNO2025 @JustinLathia @OConnorVirusLab @cell_explorer

Great first night at #SNO2025 @NeuroOnc - Dinner at Duke’s with @NeuroOncDoc @OConnorVirusLab @atiqueahmedphd

Great bringing colleagues @muratti1983 and @OConnorVirusLab to #SNO2025 @NeuroOnc - not traditional #GBM researchers and they are bringing innovative ideas to our neuro oncology program, come check out their work at the meeting!

Great start to #SNO2025! Grateful for the chance to meet with @JustinLathia and @OConnorVirusLab to discuss our upcoming papers, grants, and growing collaborations. Excited to bring new perspectives to neuro-oncology and push our GBM research forward together @NeuroOnc

While it is formally the end of the @bikeVeloSano fundraising season, the work still continues. Great to hang out with our top @CCLRI fundraiser Shaylor Steele and discuss the progress being made in cancer research, supported by the event! @OConnorVirusLab

Excited to be on our way to the @theABTA #AARN meeting! Picked up a bunch of friends at the airport on the way! @OConnorVirusLab

Thank you to all who made our 12th annual #VeloSano Bike to Cure weekend a success.  @bikeVeloSano brings together cyclists of all levels, volunteers, donors, corporate partners & caregivers - all united around the goal of supporting lifesaving cancer research @ClevelandClinic

You want to feel good and 🤩👏… come to ⁦@bikeVeloSano⁩ . Nothing feels as good as being with previous #ChildhoodCancer patients who are now #Survivors and #riding for the #Cure

The numbers keep growing! Great to be with co-captains @OConnorVirusLab and Geoff

Great @bikeVeloSano parade at the @CleGuardians - thanks for hosting us and it’s great to see we share a lot of values! Thanks for your unconditional support of cancer research here in Cleveland! @oreizes @OConnorVirusLab

NIH funding creates medicines, jobs, and economic growth

About a month after Donald Trump took office, almost all grant-review meetings remain suspended at the US National Institutes of Health, preventing the world’s largest public funder of biomedical research from spending much of its US$47 billion annual budget. go.nature.com/3EQlDjy

The NIH 15% cap on indirect costs will kneecap biomedical research in the US. Without essential infrastructure, there will be: Staff cuts Lab closures Fewer research projects Less scientific progress Loss of talent The US will no longer lead scientific & medical innovation.

Save the date! VeloSano Bike to Cure is back; we’ll see you September 5 - 6! Comment if you're planning to ride this year 🤚 #VeloSano #BiketoCure
