The second poster presentation on the opening day of #BCVS25, will be delivered by Caitlin Howard, a PhD student, in Dr. Steve Jones’s lab. She will discuss recent work on the impact of fibroblast-derived hyaluronan in ventricular remodeling.

Finishing up the first day of #BCVS25 with our final poster of the day. Dr. Gibb will present exciting new work leverages integrative systems biology approaches to identify key contributors to the development of HFpEF.

Haven’t made plans for day two of #BCVS25 yet? Here are some great sessions to attend. Starting day 2 strong, Dr. Helen Collins, will be one of the female faculty panel speakers in the Women in Science Breakfast.

Next up on day 2 of #BCVS25, as a new addition to the schedule, Dr. Andrew Gibb will be presenting his exciting new findings regarding the role of glutamine metabolism in pathological remodeling and fibrosis.

Heading to the poster session on day 2 of #BCVS25? Interested in sex differences? Caitlin Howard, from the laboratory of Dr. Steven Jones, will present her second poster of the week, highlighting sex-dependent differences in cardiac fibroblast biology.

Interested in new advances in metabolism? Want to know more? Dr. Gibb will moderate the "Age of Metabolism" session at #BCVS25 on Friday afternoon, alongside Dr. Rong Tian.

Dr. Shahid Baba will present on carnosine's therapeutic potential in peripheral artery disease (PAD) at Manchester Metropolitan University (MMU), England, on July 23rd. This MMU-funded visit fosters collaboration with Dr. Amy Harwood and an upcoming clinical trial in England.

Be sure to check out the Center faculty and trainee presentations happening today at #BCVS25.

Be sure to check out these 3 Center faculty and trainee events and presentations happening today at #BCVS25.

Great presentations from the Center faculty and trainees on day 1 of #BCVS25

Dr. Gibb will be moderating the age of metabolism session this afternoon alongside Dr. Rong Tian at #BCVS25

Great presentations from the Center faculty and trainees on day 2 of #BCVS25

The Center Trainees and Faculty all gave fantastic presentations and received invaluable feedback at #BCVS25. We are already looking forward to both Sessions and #BCVS26

Our 5th Annual Trainee Day was a huge success! We packed it with professional development: pitches, posters, interviews, and a "Shark Tank" scientific pitch. Congrats to all winners: Brittany Reynolds, Ilaria Ferrari, Jonah Stephan, Jamila Makhloufi, Caitlin Howard, & pitch team.

Congratulations to Ben Doelling, a biochemistry and Molecular Genetics PhD student in the laboratory of Dr. Shahid Baba, for receiving an NIH F31 Fellowship. This project will examine the Biochemical Silencing of Maladaptive Inflammation in Heart Failure

Using a robust preclinical rat model of HFpEF, Dr. Andrew Gibb and colleagues identified disruptions in mitochondrial function and metabolism as key contributors to HFpEF pathophysiology. Check out the research manuscript and accompanying editorial out now in #JACCBTS.
