Two of our postdocs were awarded at the Internal Medicine #Research Symposium @wakeforestmed! Natasha won 1st place & Kunal secured 2nd place in poster presentations. Kudos to all Jadiya & @dhtomar lab trainees, great work by Ashlesha, Shiridhar & Anupriya! #mitochondria
Thanks @The_CCAD for an incredible 2025 Reunion in Puerto Rico! Honored to present and discuss my work on mitochondrial calcium and Alzheimer’s. #CCAD2025 #NewVisionResearch #AlzheimersResearch #Mitochondria #ScientificCommunity #PuertoRico
We show that preconditioning of iPSCs with low pulse- treatment with a chemotherapeutic drug, doxorubicin, alters the fate of cardiomyocytes that originated from such treated cells. They become transcriptionally reprogrammed in a way that impaires cardiac muscle regeneration.

New article from @TheElrodLab in @NatMetabolism reveals that TMEM65 is crucial for NCLX-dependent mitochondrial calcium efflux. Loss of TMEM65 leads to calcium overload, cell death, and organ dysfunction, highlighting its potential as a therapeutic target. nature.com/articles/s4225…
The 2nd #CCAD Reunion Conference kicks off tonight!! We are excited to welcome attendees with a 6pm reception under the Banyan Tree @elsanjuanhotel. Take a peek at the welcome bags waiting for you! #AlzheimersDisease #NewVisionResearch
It was a pleasure hosting our friends and collaborators from across the pond! @AnandMito_Lab & @KondadiLab shared fascinating insights into mitochondrial architecture and dynamics @wakeforestmed #Mitochondria #RedoxBiology #Science

Great representation from the Jadiya and Tomar labs at the @wakeforestmed Annual Research Day! Anupriya, Natasha, Shatakshi, Shiridhar, Shani, & Kunal presented their research and received fantastic feedback. Proud of their hard work and dedication! #mitochondria #teamscience

The brain is full of mitochondria! But how many, and where? Different types of mitochondria specialize for energy transformation and other functions In MitoBrainMap v1.0 we provide the first maps of mitochondrial content and OxPhos capacity across the human brain
