Yoel passed his first progress meeting in August and his committee members are happy with his experimental progress and are excited to see what will be the next findings! Keep up, Yoel!
Sunil Yadav has recently been accepted in a summer internship program at MyoKardia, Inc., a San Francisco based precision cardiovascular medicine company, working on targeted therapies for heritable Cardiomyopathies. Their line of research greatly overlaps with the basic science research Sunil is involved in as a graduate student, and he believes this internship opportunity will help him further explore leading […]
Please welcome Melanie Veerasammy, a junior majoring in Biology and minoring in Chemistry and Public Health at the University of Miami! She will be volunteering in the lab every day for the summer 2019. She has many shadowing and leadership experience and wishes to pursue an MD-PhD degree following her bachelor’s degree. She will be working […]
We are very pleased to present our newest publications: Therapeutic potential of AAV9-S15D-RLC gene delivery in humanized MYL2 mouse model of HCM Hereditary heart disease: pathophysiology, clinical presentation, and animal models of HCM, RCM, and DCM associated with mutations in cardiac myosin light chains Phosphomimetic-mediated in vitro rescue of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy linked to R58Q mutation […]
Our graduate student Yoel Sitbon passed his PhD proposal on September 27th! His research focuses on mutations on ELC leading to HCM and RCM and aims at further understanding the role of the N-Terminus of ELC in regulating cardiac muscle contraction in health and disease. Congrats ! Next steps for him include: elaborating on the […]
Dr. Szczesna-Cordary and her two graduate students Yoel Sitbon and Sunil Yadav flew to Madison where they presented their research via poster presentations & oral presentations! Very interesting and nourishing intellectual trip!
Dear Mr. Yadav, As you may know the AHA frequently partners with other funding sources such as private foundations, individual donors, and corporations to share support for projects of excellent scientific merit. I am writing to let you know that your AHA award was selected to be funded with a gift from Pamela Knous. Funds […]
In their latest paper published in The Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences USA, the Szczesna-Cordary Lab reveals the molecular mechanisms associated with MYL2- mutant dilated cardiomyopathy: http://www.pnas.org/content/early/2018/02/15/1716925115 Yuan et al. 2018 DCM + Suppl
Our lab would like to thank our postdoc Cindy for her hard work and dedication in the DSC lab! We enjoyed having you in the lab and hope you will like your new position in Dr. Slingerland laboratory!
