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…

An official welcome to Dr. Dr. Michael Salerno M.D. P.h.D who starts today. We are excited to have you at UCSF Health as Professor of Medicine & Professor of Radiology, Chief of Echo & Cardiac Imaging, & Director of Multi-Modality CV Imaging section! #UCSFCardiology UCSF Health


Congratulations to Christian O’Donnell MD for his JACC Journals paper on improved heart tx donor:recipient size matching using echo-derived donor LV mass qsushiny.shinyapps.io/Measured_LVM_C… especially for obese patients! jacc.org/doi/abs/10.101… Stanford Heart Failure, Cardiac Transplant and MCS Brian Wayda

A new Science Immunology study reveals new pathways regulating the cellular response to unedited double-stranded RNA, which could underlie autoimmune conditions with ADAR mutations. scim.ag/3D0Ydag

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



Happy ❤️Month! Join me and Aly Elezaby, MD PhD at the Stanford Medicine My Heart Counts 5K, kids fun run and cycling event to support families with 🫀disease! Myheartcountsrun.org youtube.com/watch?v=WVRbqX…

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…


We're proud to announce that #StanDOM's Karim Sallam has been named the 2025 recipient of the Alwin C. Rambar – James B.D. Mark Award for Excellence in Patient Care. His compassion, dedication & teamwork define excellence at Stanford Medicine. Congratulations, Karim!


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!
