A study from the LMS published today in Nature Cardiovascular Research shows how a new AI-driven tool could help find heart disease drugs faster 🫀 #AI #CardioSky #CardiovascularResearch

Now open: Chain Florey Predoctoral Fellowship at the MRC LMS! 12 months of full-time, fully supported research training for doctors in core/specialty training aiming for a PhD. Apply here: lms.mrc.ac.uk/work/vacanci...

🚨Chain Florey Transition-to-Independence Fellowship in Cardiac Imaging is now open! Up to 3 years funding for clinician scientists near CCT. Join @drdeclanoregan.bsky.social team on a BHF-funded project using cardiac MRI, machine learning & genomics to study health & disease. Apply or tag someone!

New work from @drdeclanoregan.bsky.social and his lab has uncovered previously unknown links between our genes and heart shape This was achieved by comparing the genetics and heart structures of over 40,000 people! To read more follow the link!

Body fat distribution predicts the pace of cardiovascular system aging, with sex-specific patterns, and protective effect of estrogen academic.oup.com/eurheartj/ad...

"Hidden" visceral fat around organs accelerates heart aging - but fat on the hips and thighs could be protective in women. Read our paper out now in the European Heart Journal. #whyCMR doi.org/10.1093/eurh...

🚀 Exciting Research Assistant opportunity! Join Dr Melanie Chan’s team at the LMS as a Research Assistant to uncover the genetics of kidney disease using cutting-edge genomics and bioinformatics! Apply here 👇

Congratulations to Dr Soodeh Kalaie! Her image "Genetic Rhythms - the fingerprint of genes on the beating heart", based on her research with @drdeclanoregan.bsky.social, has been shortlisted as one of the @thebhf.bsky.social #ReflectionsOfResearch! To vote follow the link and like the post!

Fantastic welcome from Dr Marc Pfeffer and colleagues @harvard.edu / Brigham - giving me the opportunity to present our team’s work at the Grand Round.

The @mrc-lms.bsky.social kicks off at the wonderful Royal Institution with talk on #teamscience by @wiebkearlt.bsky.social.

Exciting new #ApostropheCatastrophe today. Is it really so hard… 🇮🇪

Exciting first bluesky post! We estimated trabecular complexity in 50,000 UK Biobank participants to identify influencing genetic, clinical, and lifestyle factors. Trabeculation progresses with cardiac diseases and changes can occur early in pathogenesis.

New paper out in @natureportfolio.bsky.social by @kathrynmcgurk.bsky.social on the genetic architecture of myocardial trabeculae. @mrc-lms.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/s44...
