Case Summary:

The following is the list of evidence we collected for an expert in the field of genetics who asked our help for her NIW(National Interest Waiver) approval:

Her proposed endeavor was to continue applying single-cell computational tools to characterize the role of sensory neurons and glial cells in the airway and immune responses in order to better understand the transcriptional and molecular pathways required for normal lung function. Among other applications, her research is relevant to improving the treatment of respiratory diseases and alleviating the associated burden on society.
Her research advancing her proposed endeavor is of great importance because it expands the opportunities for sensory neurons and glial cells in the lungs to serve as therapeutic targets in the treatment of chronic diseases afflicting the airway and lungs. According to information from the Forum of International Respiratory Societies, respiratory diseases are the leading causes of death and disability around the world. It is obvious that the client’s breakthrough in characterizing the role of sensory neurons and glial cells in the airway is a significant contribution to her field and key advancement for the improved treatment of disease.
Her proposed endeavor also has broad implications for the United States, since respiratory diseases at large constitute a significant burden on U.S. schools, workplaces, neighborhoods, and states.
Due to its evident national importance, her research has in fact been supported with funding from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) through the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) and the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH).
Her research has also resulted in 5 peer-reviewed journal articles (3 of them first-authored) which have been cited a total of 87 times according to Google Scholar, thereby demonstrating that these publications are widely recognized and relied upon in the field of genetics.
She has been pursuing research directly related to her proposed endeavor for 7 years now giving her authority over the area.
Finally, she also received 4 letters of recommendation from other experts who knew her work and supported it through their testimonials.

So, when her approval came through, we were very happy to have been a part of the success story. We wish her all the best in her future endeavors and look forward to further collaborations with her.
