NIH has stopped considering new grant applications, delaying decisions about how to spend millions of dollars.
The freeze occurred because the Trump administration has blocked the NIH…

It’s been a tough few weeks. My 10yo daughter was diagnosed with a very rare, aggressive cancer called interdigitating dendritic cell sarcoma (IDCS). I’m reaching out to identify clinicians/patients who have encountered pediatric IDCS, indeterminate dendritic cell histiocytosis or other (non-LCH) histiocytic sarcomas cases.
I'm trying to understand non-surgical chemo and targeted therapy options, new pathology markers to better diagnose subtypes/treatments, and any data on progression in pediatric patients. Please feel free to share – I’m trying to cast a wide net due to the rarity of this condition and how little is known.
People can contact me directly at my first name (as written in my profile) at octant.bio.
Two big announcements for the Argall home!
1. Our son, Aiden, arrived last week weighing 8lbs 6oz! He’s perfect and we’re so lucky.
2. I found out the same day that I officially received the AHA Postdoctoral Fellowship!
I’m looking for a motivated postdoc to join my lab with a structural biology background. Reach out to me if you are interested in the structure-function studies of actin cytoskeleton and membrane repair processes.

Our work on cardiac actin mutants A331P and M305L is now published. Great collaboration with @Heissler_Lab@SPOREMOHAN labs.
