The Szczesna-Cordary Lab welcomes our new graduate student! Bienvenue, Yoel Sitbon.
The DSC family is excited to welcome Yoel Sitbon as its latest addition to our MCP graduate students. Yoel’s research will focus on Essential Light Chain (ELC) mutations that lead to cardiomyopathy via changes in ELC structure, and the ability of myosin to effectively interact with actin, ultimately leading to dysregulated cardiac muscle contraction. He will […]
SUNIL YADAV RECEIVES AHA 2017 PREDOCTORAL FELLOWSHIP
Congratulations to Sunil Yadav ( Danuta Szczesna-Cordary Lab) for receiving a two-year American Heart Association (AHA) AWRP Winter 2017 Predoctoral Fellowship for the work titled “The effect of pseudo-phosphorylation of myosin RLC on improvement of cardiac function in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy”.
