Congratulations to Dr. June Kwon-Chung on being elected to the National Academy of Sciences!
Dr. June Kwon-Chung knew from a young age that she wanted to become a scientist. Almost six decades after she arrived at The National Institutes of Health in 1966 as a Fogarty International Fellow, she was elected to the National Academy of Sciences for her groundbreaking research on fungal diseases.

Viral #hepatitis affects the lives of about one in twenty people in the world, resulting in over a million deaths each year. NIAID is working on many ways to prevent and treat the different types of hepatitis, including the development of vaccines and improved therapeutics and diagnostics. July 28 is observed annually as #WorldHepatitisDay, providing an opportunity to reflect on the impact of hepatitis on global health and focus on strategies to reduce its burden. To observe World Hepatitis Day, NIAID highlights recent advances researchers have made in these areas. Learn more at https://go.nih.gov/UpN6IiI

NIH’s approach to test therapeutic interventions for Long COVID is evolving. We will apply lessons learned from NIH Researching COVID to Enhance Recovery (RECOVER) studies and trials to develop a new program called RECOVER-Treating Long COVID (RECOVER-TLC). RECOVER-TLC will call upon the research community to help identify promising therapeutic approaches and study designs that will produce results that are needed by those affected by Long COVID. We need input from the research and Long COVID communities to ensure RECOVER-TLC can be a success. A kick-off meeting will be held September 23-25. Check back to this page for registration updates: https://lnkd.in/g4V4cUfT #LongCOVID #NIHRECOVER

Day 5 of #AIDS2024 #NIAID science snapshot for Friday, July 26: - Ensitrelvir showed antiviral activity, safety, & reduced time to #COVID19 symptom resolution in non-hospitalized adults but fared little better than placebo in time needed to fully resolve symptoms. - A #COVID19 vaccine study found people living with #HIV had high exposure to tuberculosis. The results demonstrate the need for #TB screening, surveillance, & collaboration with health experts for comprehensive HIV and TB care. - A study found that the bivalent #COVID19 #vaccine mRNA-1273 provided no additional protection compared to the monovalent vaccine for people living with or without #HIV when #Omicron variants were evolving.

#NIAID-supported scientists have identified small molecules that trigger #TrainedImmunity, a form of innate immune-system memory, without a pathogen or host molecule activating innate immunity first. These newly identified compounds surprisingly include steroids, which are usually #immunosuppressive. Also, unlike the few previously identified molecules that trigger trained immunity, the new ones are easy to make and deliver, the scientists say. These findings could help researchers develop new or improved vaccines and treatments.

NIH is taking steps to re-envision the postdoctoral training experience, but the feedback of the biomedical research community is a crucial part of this process. Among the actions under consideration are: ➡️Limiting the amount of time a postdoctoral scholar can be supported by NIH funds to five years to speed transition into research careers. ➡️ Shorten the eligibility window and refocus review criteria for a key mentored career development award (K99/R00) to facilitate more rapid transition of postdoctoral scholars. ➡️Enhancing training and professional development for postdoctoral scholars and their mentors. Share your feedback by October 23, 2024: https://go.nih.gov/amqQ7DD
