It was great working with @seanmwu.bsky.social and @aliraissadati.bsky.social on this seminal work investigating the proof of concept use cell free mRNA biomarkers in ici myocarditis, a technology that can be expanded to other CV diseases! @stanfordmedicine.bsky.social @scvi-mavens.bsky.social

Immune checkpoint inhibitors have transformed cancer therapy, but adverse events such as myocarditis remain hard to diagnose.

@aliraissadati.bsky.social @seanmwu.bsky.social & team offer a noninvasive, early-detection tool for ICI-induced myocarditis—plasma cf-mRNA profiling: buff.ly/fVioq2o

Thrilled to share our work in @jclinical-invest.bsky.social demonstrating the potential of cell free mRNA as a liquid biopsy of myocardial inflammation! Many thanks to my fantastic coauthors and especially my mentor @seanmwu.bsky.social for their unwavering support!

Catching up with @seanmwu.bsky.social lab alumni including @hanzhumd.bsky.social and Soah Lee at #BCVS2025!

Reuniting with old friends is the best part of scientific meetings, other than the science of course! 🔬

No one I know has been drinking Coors for decades so I think we’re good.

Keynote speech @ #bcvs2025 by @benoitbruneau.bsky.social @UCSF discussing the regulation of gene expression during ❤️ development, now in 3D! With moderator Jennifer Davis & intro by Farah sheik @americanheart.bsky.social

Thinking of you and appreciating what you have done for the ❤️ development community.🙏

Great turnout for the event!

A short Bluetorial about my early days as the Director of the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) at NIH.

The importance of feeling responsibility and taking pride in doing the best job you can

We’ve been using DAX CoPilot @stanfordmedicine.bsky.social & the feedback has been very positive. Pt are always asked for permission before use. Saves a lot of time for clinicians & is far more accurate compare w notes without it. Ppl should reserve judgement before having any experience.

Read Harvard’s Lawsuit Against Trump (Gift Article) Harvard University sued the Trump administration after it moved to block international students from enrolling.

Warning-some of you might find it triggering to read the flagrant violation of 1st amendment rights by the government against Harvard. The lawsuit from Harvard today provides a detailed account of what has transpired in the past two months. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

I'm a current Harvard graduate student and I found out today that I had my NSF GRFP terminated without notification. I was awarded this individual research fellowship before even choosing Harvard as my graduate school

Great to see you Jon in Dallas earlier this week! Look forward to catch up again in-person at the BCVS meeting in Baltimore later this July. 👍🙏

Sign up now if you are in Chicago or surrounding states. Registration $40 for trainees and $75 for faculty.
Great presentations.
Good networking opportunities.

Our so called Secretary of Education now writes official letters like Trump writes posts on X and Truth Social. This is the education level we’ll be having across the country once the administration guts all funding for science 2 universities & student support. 🤬🤬🤬

The current administration’s narrative that Harvard (and all universities) feel “entitled” to federal dollars misleads the public. Nor are these funds a “privilege” 1/n

Great to see @harvard.edu take a stand on the unlawful infringement of the current government on academic freedom and freedom of speech. I’m proud to have trained as a fellow at Harvard Med/MGH & as an HMS Assist Prof previously. 👍👍👏👏💪💪
Now is the time for all other universities to do the same.

Harvard University Harvard University is devoted to excellence in teaching, learning, and research, and to developing leaders who make a difference globally.

Harvard redid its whole homepage to push back against the administration’s demands. I mean, this is just a website but I think it’s kind of a great PR move: www.harvard.edu

Nice!! They need to add one in Boston also.

#SOUL trial presented at #ACC25. Oral #semaglutide reduced 3-pt major adverse cardiovascular events by 14% in patients with T2D, even with high background SGLTi use. In exploratory analysis, oral sema also reduced major limb events. #CardioSky @accintouch.bsky.social

Gata go watch basketball game instead.🏀🏀🏀

Yap!

Did you know that the hippopotamus has a heart rate of 34 bpm & a QRS axis pointing 2 its neck? See-Cardiac conduction system & the electrocardiogram of the common hippopotamus (Hippopotamus amphibius) pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40153832/ Super interesting how different species adapt 2 size & function.

Thanks so much Peter, Han @hankim and the trainees Aidan, Termeh for the great hospitality. It was wonderful to see you all at UOHI.
