Elizabeth Presents Award-Winning Poster at Undergraduate Research Poster Day (May, 2017)
At this year's UCLA Undergraduate Research Poster Day, Elizabeth presented the culmination of her work in the lab with a poster entitled "Chromatin structure mediates cardiac hypertrophy and failure". Her efforts were recognized when she was selected to receive the Dean's Prize Science Award. Congratulations on your outstanding work, Elizabeth!  Elizabeth and her poster.  Elizabeth and her mentor, Manuel, at the award reception. |
Elaheh Successfully Defends Her Thesis. Congratulations, Dr. Karbassi!
In her defense titled "Orchestration of Cardiac Gene Expression Mediated by Global Chromatin Architecture", Dr. Elaheh Karbassi captivated her audience as she explained the culmination of her work while a graduate student in the lab. Her years of hard work and dedication to scientific research were evident in the range and depth of data she had to present. Congratulations again, Dr. Karbassi! |
Sarah and Todd Publish Smyd1 Report in AJP (August, 2016)
Sarah and Todd's hard work has paid off with a publication in the American Journal of Physiology. The paper, The chromatin binding protein Smyd1 restricts adult mammalian heart growth, was a collaborative effort with Dr. Haley Tucker at UT Austin.  |
Manuel Presents at the European Society of Cardiology (August, 2016)
Our resident European, Manuel Rosa Garrido, presented a poster at the European Society of Cardiology in Rome. His poster informed the conference of his work with CTCF. |  |
Elaheh Makes to Cover of Physiological Genomics (August, 2016)
Elaheh's paper, Relationship of disease-associated gene expression to cardiac phenotype is buffered by genetic diversity and chromatin regulation, was recently published in Physiological Genomics. Doubling down on excitement, she also designed the cover of the August issue! |  |
