I am pleased to share our latest paper now appearing in Communications Biology, describing CiliaTracks a machine learning tool-kit that we hope will provide a method to evaluate and diagnose PCD. rdcu.be/Uj7A1qyvfaja nature.com/articles/s42003-0… #PCD #cilia

I got this pin from a very dear friend of mine during the recent Global PCD conference, and it truly embodies what is needed to find a cure for rare diseases and how the basic/translational/clinical sciences in this unique area should be: One Goal, One Team, Ego set aside.

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 gave talks at 4 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.

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. channel.ersnet.org/channel-3…

The ERS/ATS guidelines for the diagnosis of Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia are available online publications.ersnet.org/cont… The panel gives strong recommendation for use of HSVM, IF, and nNO as adjunct tests to TEM and/or genetics for PCD diagnosis
