Genome editing has centered around DNA, with over 40 ongoing clinical trials and 2 FDA approvals. But RNA editing has some key advantages and appears to be taking off. An open-access review Science Magazine science.org/content/articl…

Great to see this wonderful write up from Stanford Department of Medicine on our work unmasking a novel genetic mechanism of coronary artery disease. Happy to be presenting this work #AHA2024 as part of the Katz Prize finalist session Saturday in Chicago! Stanford CVI medicine.stanford.edu/news/current-n…

It's well known that regular exercise is good for your health, but a new scientific consortium is revealing fresh insights into just how profound the benefits are for the human body. euan ashley, chair of Standford's Department of Medicine, is helping lead this study into how

Hibernating brown bears rarely suffer from blood clots despite 6 months of immobilization. A 2023 Science study revealed a factor that appears to protect the animals against this immobility-associated thrombosis. Learn more in this #SciencePerspective: scim.ag/4gXjCjB

I'm quoted in this article on how NIH is still blocked from funding new grants. This sabotage makes no sense. Nearly every medicine or treatment you've ever received has roots in NIH-funded research, and every $1 of NIH spending generates $2.46 in returns. wbur.org/news/2025/02/2…

The NIH grant that supported 38 years of training the best pediatrician-scientists in the country (I’m a proud former recipient) was cancelled. It was just approved for a 5 year renewal. The Pediatric Scientist Development Program (PSDP) is vital to our understanding of childhood diseases and making new therapies

Happy to be part of this NAVBO Symposium on precision genomics (Tues, April 29, 2025). Excited to present on the epigenomic landscape of single vascular cells - development, regulatory networks, and ML prediction of variant effect, so much to talk about! members.navbo.org/calendar-of-ev…

Tons of fun at our annual #MyHeartCounts 5K! Amazing event and the one time a year I remember that racing a 5K is….hard, lol. Hit my goal time and looking forward to next year! Stanford Department of Medicine SCICD

This is an exciting example of what can be done at the intersection of disciplines linking complex genetics, cardiac phenotype and medical imaging, powerful ML models, to address fundamental questions in epistasis — congrats Qianru Wang and the euan ashley and Bin Yu labs!

A new paper discussing the importance of federal, institutional, and programmatic support for physician scientist trainees. The same can easily apply to biomedical trainees. We as a nation need to support the next generation of doctors and researchers! rdcu.be/etaiE
