OMRF scientists Drs. Chi Fung Lee and Hina Nizami have discovered a way to reverse the effects of heart disease in diabetic mice. Read more: omrf.org/omrf-researche…

If you are using CRISPR in zebrafish, you are most likely using the Cas9 plasmid from Wenbiao Chen, one of the most impactful contributions to the community. Consider voting for Wenbiao for the BOD position.

🧬 Abstract submissions are now open for #ASHG26    Share your discoveries, connect with the global human genetics and genomics community, and help drive real‑world impact. Submissions are due May 18, 5pm ET.   Submit now: ashgmeeting.ashg.org/programs/abstr… @GeneticsSociety

OMRF's Senior Vice President & General Counsel, Adam Cohen, and Vice President & Chief Financial Officer, Tim Hassen, are in Washington, D.C. with @RepBice advocating for medical research.. We are proud and excited to have them representing OMRF and AIRI on Capitol Hill! 🧬 🏛️

Our Fleming Scholars were sweet in the 60s! ⭐ The Fleming Scholar program gained momentum, and we welcomed former OMRF VP of Research Dr. Rod McEver as a scholar in 1965! Learn more about our Fleming anniversary and reunion event at omrf.org/flemingreunion.

@AgrawalPB_lab @univmiami @JacksonHealth @NEONATOLOGYUM @BostonChildrens Congratulations, Pankaj!

Excited to share the NIH R01 grant we received last week to pursue genetic therapies in NICUs ⁦@univmiami⁩ ⁦@JacksonHealth⁩ ⁦@NEONATOLOGYUM⁩ ⁦⁦@BostonChildrens⁩ news.med.miami.edu/nih-grant-cust…

It's World Health Day! 🌎 This year's theme is "Together for health: Stand with science." 🧬🔬 Here at OMRF, our scientists work to unlock the mysteries of human health and disease to help people live longer, healthier lives.

We love sharing the great work our scientists are doing with the community! Want to learn more? Join us at one of our Spotlight Conversations events in May, or email us at philantrhopy@omrf.org for more information.

@jdpereira Congratulations, Joao and team!

I am INCREDIBLY proud to share our lab’s first preprint, after 22 months of work! A result of Dr. Anna Schreiber’s and Dr Anamika Gupta’s fantastic work, we focus on an ultra rare developmental disease, YWHAG syndrome. (1/?) biorxiv.org/content/10.648…

@manalisjoshi1 Congratulations!

Promoted to Associate Professor! 🥳 A milestone supported by the many students and collaborators I have worked with. Deeply grateful to them and my family for their support. A small celebration today with the group members who could join!

@iqbalhamzalab Congratulations, Iqbal!

Thrilled to share our HFSP grant "Revealing the Hidden World of Heme Proteins in True Colour" was funded! Collaboration with Jennifer Ogilvie (Canada), Michel Sliwa (France), & Philipp Kukura (UK) to develop label-free single-molecule imaging of heme transport and trafficking.

Dr. Paul Kincade devoted his life to medical research, spending his entire career probing the mysteries of the human immune system. That commitment continued upon his death, with the former VP of research at OMRF making a $500,000 estate gift to OMRF. omrf.org/2026/02/23/res…

OMRF dedicated the Research Tower's fifth floor as the Meinders Center for Neurodegenerative Research, thanks to a $8.25 million gift by Herman Meinders and the Meinders Foundation. The new space will serve as a hub for studying brain diseases in Oklahoma. omrf.org/2026/02/16/omr…

Harrison and Elaine Levy have made a $1 million gift to the Oklahoma Medical Research Foundation to support Alzheimer’s research. To honor that gift, on Wednesday OMRF dedicated the Levy & Ray Family Laboratory for Alzheimer’s Research. omrf.org/2026/02/12/1-m…

Thank you,@SanjeevSaGa @sumeetpalsingh8 @SNU_NatScience, for having me and for the warm hospitality! Really enjoyed discussing our work with the faculty and students today. SNU has a stunning campus and houses one of the largest zebrafish facilities in India, truly impressive!

A powerful new technology developed at OMRF could dramatically speed up the process of diagnosing rare genetic diseases. Read more: omrf.org/2026/02/03/omr…

@ShengJiaLin9413 @AmericanAir Yes!

@varshneylab @AmericanAir Not again 😩
