I love stories like this When the results of a new drug that prevented 100% of HIV cases were announced at the 2024 AIDS conference, the room burst into spontaneous applause

Excited to share our preprint on metabolic differences in the vaginal #microbiome. We find key differences in fatty acid metabolism among #Lactobacillus species & leverage those findings to identify a potential new therapy for bacterial vaginosis (BV) & #WomensHealth 🧵 (1/n)

Congratulations to Yonathan Janka, graduate of our HEART summer program, on receiving a cancer biology poster presentation award @ABRCMS for his research performed in Dr. Humsa Venkatesh’s lab @BrighamWomens @harvardmed. WAY TO GO!

A weekend to remember! With record-breaking attendance, the 41st annual @HarvardMITmdphd retreat on Cape Cod was the perfect mix of science, festivities, comradery, & inspiration. An incredible group of empathic, multitalented difference makers. @NIGMSTraining @harvardmed @MIT

@allisonoconn Great Q! In our inaugural year, we ask for rising juniors & seniors to have 1 semester or summer of research to ensure they have a productive summer with adequate mentorship - in the future, we hope to expand the scope of our program to folks totally new to research!

@simkhanda This seems like a great opportunity! Do you know why previous research experience is required? Seems like it might be hard for college juniors or seniors coming from disadvantaged backgrounds to have that kind of experience, especially so early in college.

Interested in pursuing an MD-PhD degree? The Harvard/MIT MD-PhD program has launched a new summer program for undergrads from underrepresented or disadvantaged backgrounds -- see below for more info! #mdphd #doubledoc #physicianscientist
