Gordon Conference Award for Dr. Chang-Ru Tsai!
We wish to extend our sincerest congratulations to Dr. Chang-Ru Tsai for winning a poster award at the Gordon Conference this past week! Dr. Tsai, a postdoctoral fellow in the Department of Integrative Physiology at Baylor College of Medicine, traveled with other Martin Lab members to Colby-Sawyer College in New London, New Hampshire to attend the conference entitled “Applying High Resolution Approaches to Complex Cardiac Disorders: Towards Targeted Therapies”. This conference is a part of the Cardiac Regulatory Mechanisms Gordon Research Conference series which serves as a platform for heart field investigators to discuss the “fundamental, basic mechanisms that control normal cardiac function and how these systems are precisely altered in the context of pathogenic processes, resulting in a broad range of cardiovascular disease states“.
Dr. Tsai presented his work “Hippo pathway in cardiac fibroblasts regulate inflammation and fibrosis via Colony Stimulating Factor 1 signaling“ at the poster session where he discussed genomic and imaging experiments he performed to gain a deeper understanding of how Hippo pathway signaling regulates the post-injury repair response in hearts. Congratulations Chang-Ru on your remarkable work and this well-deserved award!
