Published an op-ed for @cnn.com: “Nobel laureate: I owe America my success. Today, its scientific future is in danger.”
A personal reflection on what’s at stake as science funding gets slashed. I’d be grateful if you could amplify both in and beyond the science world.

First pre-print of 2025! Collaborative effort with the Martinac and Feneley labs looking at the long term impact of Piezo1 deletion on cardiac function. Some very cool data, particularly a link between atrial stretch-Piezo1 channels and ANP release!!

Deletion of PIEZO1 in adult cardiomyocytes accelerates cardiac aging and causes premature death
Mechanosensitive PIEZO1 channels have emerged as key transducers of mechanical forces in the cardiovascular system. In cardiomyocytes, we previously showed that PIEZO1 decodes mechanical cues driving ...
