Summary

The Trump administration abruptly fired at least 10 principal investigators at the NIH Tuesday, including Dr. Richard Youle, a top Parkinson’s researcher and Breakthrough Prize winner.

The cuts, part of a broader purge by HHS Secretary Robert Kennedy Jr., are tied to a government slashing plan eliminating 1,200 NIH jobs.

Affected labs span key research in neurology, aging, HIV, and child brain disorders.

NIH leaders and scientists expressed confusion and alarm, warning the firings could severely disrupt clinical trials and critical research.

Senators Bernie Sanders and Bill Cassidy requested Kennedy testify before Congress April 10.
