We have something new 'cooking'. Our collaboration with @hesselanthony.bsky.social and his team @ambiotech.us saw 'first light' for some of our muscle samples @brookhavenlab.bsky.social NSLS II beamline. Looking forward to some cool small angle X-ray fiber diffraction patterns...

Congratulations to Rob Johnson (postdoc @au.dk), who received a poster award at this years International Society for heart research #ISHR meeting in Nara, Japan, for his poster presentation on the Ankrd1 signaling pathway in #dilated_cardiomyopathy #DCM.

Great to run into Kyohei, who is now Assist. Prof. in Tokyo. Here is the whole team attending the #ISHR2025 conference in Nara, Japan.

More impressions

Lena an Rob from the lab are hard at work during this years #ISHR world meeting in Nara.

It was great to welcome Prof. Farah Sheikh from @ucsandiego.bsky.social to @au.dk for the 1st Intl. Guest Lecture of the #Cardiovascular #PhD #programme and hear about her fantastic work on #arrhythmogenic #cardiomyopathy that successfully takes scientific findings to #clinicaltrial.

New paper alert. 🚨
We finally published our manuscript describing that "Combined Loss of Obsc and Obsl1 in Murine Hearts Results in Diastolic Dysfunction, Altered Metabolism, and Deregulated Mitophagy"
Find it at @ahajournals.bsky.social #CirculationHF

We had a great visit to the lab of Prof. Katja Gehmlich @ Birmingham University to learn about engineered heart tissues using #iPSC-derived #cardiomyocytes. A big thank you to the support by the #DanishCardiovascularAcademy #DCA

Great to attend the 2025 Winter Meeting of the Danish #Cardiovascular Academy and contribute with Christian Aalkjær & Emma Börgeson to the Grant writing Workshop. I hope all participants learnt something useful.
