Baker Institute
@BakerResearchAu
The Baker Heart and Diabetes Institute is committed to the fight against heart disease, diabetes and obesity, with 99 years of medical innovation.
Many barriers prevent people from accessing face to face programs so when no virtual program is available, lots of patients miss out. We found Medibank's Heart Health at Home is helping more people access cardiac rehabilitation. #CardiovascularDisease youtube.com/watch?v=2F79Ov…
Mapping the Heart's Hidden Universe ✨ Did you know heart disease could start with proteins being in the wrong place? So we mapped the heart's protein universe - which could transform how we prevent, diagnose and treat CVD💙 #HeartResearch #ScienceIsBeautiful #Proteomics
