Had an amazing week of science and community building at #GRC Extracellular Vesicles 2024! It was so informative and I got to share some preliminary work from my #MACROVALVE project. Until next time! @gordonconf #EV

What a send-off! Thank you so much Brigham and Women’s CICS Elena Aikawa #MACROVALVE

Meet the Young HVS Board! Rachel Cahalane is an Irish Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions postdoctoral research fellow working in Boston and Ireland. @rachelcahalane Read Rachel's full bio here: heartvalvesociety.org/Young/ #HVS #HeartValveSociety #YoungHVSBoard #HeartValve

Had such a good time at MQSS2024!

Headlined by our directors Masanori Aikawa and Elena Aikawa; there will be a strong contingent from CICS attending #AHA24 . There will be awards, presentations and networking. ATVB Council Brigham and Women’s Cardiovascular Life Science Harvard Medical School Mass General Brigham MassGeneral News

So excited to present updates from my #MACROVALVE project 🫀

CICS wears red for women! Our center’s core message is to perform inclusive science by involving women scientists at all levels, designing inclusive research studies and investigating medical problems that impact everyone.Harvard Medical School AHA Science Brigham and Women’s Research #womeninstem

Rachel Cahalane from Elena Aikawa lab in CICS presents the most beautiful poster highlighting the first ever proteomic characterization of bioprosthetic valves in #AHA24. So many attendees were enraptured by outstanding findings!

Had a great time catching up with Brigham and Women’s CICS at #AHA24 and presenting some of the latest data from my European #MACROVALVE project. Watch this space!

The Institute for Health Discovery & Innovation will host it's latest IHDI Seminar on Jan 16th. Rachel Cahalane (School of Engineering) & Ayman Abaid, (School of Computer Science) will present their research. 10:45am On Campus (details to follow) 🔗 lnkd.in/eJy-_h3X

I really enjoyed presenting at Ollscoil na Gaillimhe | University of Galway Institute for Healthy Discovery and Innovation's seminar series last week. I spoke about bioprosthetic valve durability and how we are trying to understand it. Thanks to all who joined! Mechanobiology #MACROVALVE

Loved being back at BioEngineering in Ireland after so many years and had lots of fun with the Mechanobiology crew! #MACROVALVE #BinI25

I'm thrilled to have joined this year's Heart Valve Society meeting in Cairo. I shared the latest findings from my EU #MACROVALVE project. To top it off, Cassandra L. Clift, PhD and I won best oral presentations in the ICTEHV 2.0 and basic valve biology and engineering sessions! #HVS2025

Want to learn more about heart valve disease 🫀 and what bioengineers are doing about it 🔨? On Monday 19th May I'll be part of the team speaking at The Salt House Galway in the @pintofscienceie 2025 festival! Free tickets available at: pintofscience.ie/event/our-body…

The Young Professionals Network (YPN) had a strong presence at the HVS2025 Meeting in Cairo We celebrated the 1st cohort of YPN travel awardees! The interactive 'Meet the Mentor' sessions were a highlight of the program.
