Today I was deeply touched. Riley, chose to forgo her birthday gifts and instead ran a fundraiser to support #PCD research to help her brothers, Mavrick and Conard, and thousands more like them. I turly appreciate their generous donation to the @horaniLab for PCD research.
I am proud of Ahmed Elgamal, a clinical postdoc in our lab for receiving the American Thoracic Society Abstract Scholarship Award, sponsored by the PCD Foundation. Congrats Ahmed ❤️
Hard at work deciphering cilia! I am really proud of Nicholas Hadas for being accepted to the PhD program in Bioinformatics at the Francis Crick Institute in the UK.
Merry Christmas to all my colleagues. I am thrilled to spend the holiday with a very very dear friend of mine, Dr Kareem Azab, from UT Southwestern. Drinking coffee as only a scientists might understand 😊
Join us tomorrow at session: A9 PRIMARY CILIARY DYSKINESIA IN A GENOMIC THERAPEUTIC ERA, #ATS2026 Orlando to discuss the greatest and latest in Primary ciliary dyskinesia updates.
I am excited to share our latest preprint describing comparative transciptomic analysis between primary ciliary dyskinesia and cystic fibrosis. The more we understand the pathways driving disease the better equipped we are to find a cure.

I was invited to give talks to 4 separate meetings the past 2 months. However, I am particularly excited to be invited by my former Chief, Tom Ferkol, to present at U of North Carolina. Together with my research mentor, now collaborator, Steven Brody, he is a main reason I work in cilia and PCD.
This is a quick read summarizing what many of us have been seeing the past several years..

I would like to share a Guideline-in-Focus episode that summarizes the recently published ERS/ATS PCD diagnosis guidelines. These guidelines are an important step in standardizing our approach to #PCD diagnosis across the world.

I am excited to share our preprint on the use of machine learning to identify abnormal cilia function. I am proud of Nicholas Hadas, a talented PhD candidate, for his hard work in compiling the code and preparing this manuscript.
