Congratulations to Nikola Srnic who won the first SHVM memorial poster award yesterday! @Soc_HrtVasMetab #SHVM2025

Well done to @devereux_riona who gave her talk yesterday at @Soc_HrtVasMetab as recipient of The William C Stanley Early Investigator Award!

🚨New from our group in @CircRes We identify a FoxO1-zDHHC4-CD36 S-acylation axis driving metabolic + contractile dysfunction in the diabetic heart. Blocking this pathway reprograms FA metabolism and improves heart function. Read more: 🔗 ahajournals.org/doi/full/10.11…
Very honored to have been able to present my research with @Heatherlab_ox @OxfordDPAG as a second year PhD student @ishr2025 world Congress!!
Last week, I successfully defended my DPhil thesis. I’m deeply grateful to my supervisor Prof Lisa Heather and colleagues. Thank you to my examiners Prof Sedej Simon and Prof Karl Morten for the wonderful discussion. @Heatherlab_ox @OxfordDPAG

Congratulations to our DPhil student @MarcosCG_95 on receiving the William C. Stanley Early Investigator Award at the #SHVM2024 @Soc_HrtVasMetab conference! His project focuses on the dual role of fumarate as an intracellular and extracellular hypoxia-induced signaling molecule

Last week, I presented a flash talk on the research I have carried out during my DPhil at the EFMC-ISMC conference in Rome. I had the most amazing time attending talks, discussing science and even managed a bit of exploring around the beautiful Rome. @AJR_group @Heatherlab_ox
Thank you all for coming to Toulouse for ISHR-ES Congress! Great job by Frank Lezoualc‘h for excellent organisation! Vivid atmosphere by mix of early&mid career investigators and leaders in the field of CV research! @ISHR_ECI @IshrMci @JMCCardiology @JMCCPlus @CircRes @escardio
