Pumped after an epic weekend celebrating the outstanding science from UC Davis Physiology at the 1st PMB Symposium at Tahoe. Congratulations to all the poster presenters. Shout out to prize winners Silvia G. del Villar Taylor Voelker Maria Casas Prat from the Dixon and Eamonn Dickson labs 🏆


More from this weekends UC Davis Physiology Symposium at beautiful Lake Tahoe. Maartje Westhoff from the lab presenting her exciting work on rejuvenation of the aging myocardium #proudmentor.


Wondering why Maartje Westhoff was talking about Alzheimer’s disease when presenting her work on the aging heart? Find out here biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Congratulations Taylor Voelker! Two symposia, two awards! Thanks to the #ucdaviscvri organizers for putting together a fantastic Heart Research Day and providing a wonderful platform for students and post-docs to present their awesome research. PTX at UC Davis UC Davis Physiology


Super proud of Maartje Westhoff Silvia G. del Villar and Taylor Voelker for representing UC Davis Physiology and our lab amazingly well at the CA American Physiological Society meeting today. Maartje delivered a killer talk, and Silvia and Taylor both won awards for their posters and flash talks! 🎉

Super excited to share my work on the role of BIN protein in β-adrenergic regulation of cardiac function #BPS2023 San Diego Rose Dixon Maartje Westhoff Eamonn Dickson




Stop by poster B233 this afternoon if you are interested in learning about cardiac aging! Thanks to all our collaborators in the Dixon, Dickson and Chiamvimonvat labs! #BPS2023 #UCDavis Rose Dixon, Silvia G. del Villar, Taylor Voelker Eamonn Dickson, Nipavan Chiamvimonvat and Phung Thai


Check out our latest work led by Taylor Voelker published today in PNASNews. PTX at UC Davis UC Davis Physiology UC Davis UC Davis Health Acute phosphatidylinositol 4,5 bisphosphate depletion destabilizes sarcolemmal expression of cardiac L-type Ca2+ channel CaV1.2 pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…




I'm very proud to announce our latest work rdcu.be/dFMlJ just out in Nature Communications Led by Maartje Westhoff and Silvia G. del Villar, we report that BIN1 knockdown rescues systolic dysfunction in aging mouse hearts. UC Davis Health UC Davis Physiology MCIP at UC Davis PTX at UC Davis 1/6


We had a super successful #PMB departmental retreat Granlibakken Tahoe! High quality science, engaged and involved faculty and trainees, and beautiful mountain air—a fantastic group! 🔬⛰️ (1/5) UC Davis UC Davis Health UCDavisMedSchool


New in PNASNews: We uncovered that a small protein called 14-3-3 acts as critical modulatory protein, orchestrating calcium channel trafficking, and fine-tuning the heart's response to stress signals. UC Davis Health UC Davis Physiology MCIP at UC Davis pnas.org/doi/full/10.10…


I’ll be presenting my research at #BPS2025 in LA on BIN1’s role in EC coupling in the heart! Come check out my poster on how BIN1 impacts Cav1.2 and RyR2 using super-resolution microscopy, electrophysiology, and calcium transients. Maartje Westhoff Rose Dixon Eamonn Dickson
