I’m honoured to share that on Monday I will be inaugurated as an Honorary Professor of Medical Physiology University of Belgrade. My sincere thanks to the leadership of Belgrade Medical Faculty, especially Prof. Dragan Djuric. @qmulwhri.bsky.social med.bg.ac.rs?p=38549

Our new study out in @natureportfolio.nature.com Scientific Reports shows #chronickidneydisease triggers systemic metabolic deficits that may drive cardiac dysfunction pointing to new cardio-renal therapeutic targets. Well done Megan! @qmulwhri.bsky.social @qmulfmd.bsky.social rdcu.be/eQ81P

Thrilled to see the EU METAHEART Family Edition from Nature Reviews Cardiology! 💓 My Science Barbie approves! @qmulwhri.bsky.social @qmulfmd.bsky.social @bartsmetabolism.bsky.social @natureportfolio.nature.com

I have to be in the most epic academic office ever. Absolute legend vibes. 📚🔥Chris Faulkes 🙇🏻‍♀️🙇🏻‍♀️🙇🏻‍♀️

What a privilege to witness courage, brilliance, and perseverance come together. Ivana’s PhD defence was pure inspiration a true hero’s journey. So proud! 🎓✨#proudmentor @qmulwhri.bsky.social

I’m truly grateful to @klixban.bsky.social for sharing my story from Tuzla to London and my path in science. 🌍 This isn’t just about me, but about the mentors, colleagues, friends & family who believed in me. I hope it inspires others to follow their passions. ✨ www.klix.ba/scitech/nauk...

Delighted to share our 2 new papers from Dr. Ivana Iveljić’s PhD 🎓 the first study from Bosnia & Herzegovina on long-term cardiac effects of adjuvant fluoropyrimidines in CRC survivors. Local research, global impact. 🌏🫀 👉🏻 medicinskiglasnik.ba/article/2242 👉🏻 www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1...

🌍 Delighted to attend #MetaHEART in Riga 🇱🇻 with Bosnian cardiology researchers 🇧🇦 Drs Jelena Jovanic & Ivana Iveljić. Dr Iveljić will give her invited talk on her recently completed PhD in cardiooncology 🧬 a testament to the resilience & talent in our EU_COST research community. 🫀#proudmentor

Honoured to chair the keynote by my friend, collaborator, mentor & brilliant scientist Prof Damian Tyler🎤 at the annual EU METAHEART meeting in Riga, 🇱🇻 An inspiring talk showcasing cutting-edge cardiovascular science! 🧲🫀 #NMR @ox.ac.uk

Hugely proud of Dr Megan Young for being a Young Investigator finalist at EU METAHEART annual meeting in Riga. She presented her Barts Charity funded project on mechano-energetics in diabetic cardiomyopathy-inspiring science with real impact! @qmulwhri.bsky.social @bartscharity.bsky.social

Cardiac Metabolism session sponsored by BartsMetabolism Network at BSCR Autumn Meeting was 🔥! As Prof Heather said, ‘Two thorns (apparently me and Mike!), and a rose 🌹’ Exciting science, brilliant colleagues, and a whole lot of metabolism magic @heatherlab.bsky.social @mitoredox.bsky.social

Good day yesterday at the William Harvey Research Institute Research Day where I was honoured to receive the Derek Willoughby Medal and give a lecture. Great hospitality from Dunja Aksentijevic and Sir Mark Caulfield.

Thrilled to see Prof.Mike Murphy @mitoredox.bsky.social recognized at the @qmulwhri.bsky.social Research Day! His groundbreaking work in mitochondrial biology has shaped the field & inspired so many.Grateful for his mentorship over the years.And what a moment seeing these two scientific giants meet!

Registration & abstract submissions are OPEN for #BSCR2025 at William Harvey Research Institute, QMUL! Programme & info: www.bscr.org/meetings/bsc... @qmulwhri.bsky.social

📣Excited to host this year's BSCR Meeting at @qmullibrary.bsky.social QMUL (Sept 3/4), together with @dunjaaks.bsky.social with a stellar line up of invited speakers! Check out the website for more info and programme, as well as links for Registration and Abstract Submission: tinyurl.com/3e7xyjjp

…Starting to feel very real! 🎓🥂

I had the incredible opportunity to meet my scientific hero-someone whose work I've long admired, closely followed, and drawn immense inspiration from. @lukeanthonyoneill.bsky.social 🤩

🦇🦇 New preprint out!🚨 We reveal unique cardiac metabolic adaptations in the Egyptian fruit bat—supporting flight, longevity & life in low oxygen. First cardiac metabolomic map in bats! 👉 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... @qmulwhri.bsky.social rossiterlab Fenn Cullen @anjakarlstaedt.bsky.social

Exciting times! 🎉 Longstanding collaborator Prof @anjakarlstaedt.bsky.social visited our lab @qmulwhri.bsky.social today to discuss all things #cardiacmetabolism 🫀 Your insights are always invaluable, and good to explore new avenues for collaboration!

When Mama’s scientific family from #LosAngeles #CedarsSinai come bearing the coolest gifts and become Sofia’s instant #TaylorSwift bffs! @anjakarlstaedt.bsky.social you legend 🙇🏻‍♀️🙏🏻🫶🏻

Looking forward to hosting British Society for Cardiovascular Research Autumn Meeting (Sept 3rd, 4th) at the beautiful and historic Charterhouse Square @qmulwhri.bsky.social @qmulfmd.bsky.social . Exciting line up of speakers confirmed. Save the date! www.bscr.org/meetings/bsc...

Today, we celebrate the birth of William Harvey (1578–1657), the English physician who first accurately described how the heart pumps blood throughout the body. (1/3)

In anticipation (and preparation!) of my professorial inauguration this summer @qmulwhri.bsky.social @qmulfmd.bsky.social , I had some special visitors at work! Still pretty petrified that Prof Aksentijevic senior (aka mum!) will tell me I am not working hard enough! 🙇🏻‍♀️😂 #rolemodels

Happy #InternationalWomensDay2025 to amazing colleagues, students, collaborators, role models and mentors. Too many to tag! And from all corners of the world 🫀🗺️ This may (still) be a man’s world but it would be nothing, NOTHING without us! 🌹💪🏻👩🏻‍🔬

The highlight of any academic mentors career: letting your PhD student know there is that “manuscript accepted” email from the editor in your inbox. Ivana First (PhD thesis) paper ✅ 🎉 🍾#CardioOncology #proudmentor

A day at the iconic Charite Hospital in #Berlin 🤩🧬🥼 🇩🇪Thank you Gabriele for your kind invitation and a friendly welcome. It was a real honour to contribute to the Collaboartive Research Centre 1470 #HFpEF seminar series and engage in 🫀metabolism discussion @qmulwhri.bsky.social

That kind of battering and bruising week unique to academia that leaves devastating trail of dissapointment and pain always reminds me of the wartime Sarajevo photo “You will never defeat us”. Resilience and strength of these women who raised me remain forever an inspiration. #nevergiveup

Delighted to share our groups latest manuscript introducing a new pre-clinical model of diabetic cardiomyopathy.More importantly our work highlights why (biological) sex matters as the determinant of the cardiovascular disease outcome. @wellcometrust.bsky.social diabetesjournals.org/diabetes/art...

So incredibly happy, proud and moved to attend Prof Sian Henson’s inaugural @drsianh.bsky.social at @qmulwhri.bsky.social “Who wants to live forever?” @QMULBartsTheLon @BartsMetabolism Amazing colleague, scientist, human being, friend 🫶🏻🔭🥼🔬🧬

Our paper is out! 🚀Prognostic impact of albuminuria in early-stage #ChronicKidneyDisease on #cardiovascular outcomes: a cohort study heart.bmj.com/content/early/… @thebhf.bsky.social @qmulwhri.bsky.social @ERA @NayAungMD @s_e_petersen @hafiz_naderi @munroe_patsy

Thank you #ESC Winter Heart Failure meeting organisers for a fantastic meeting in #Vienna. Great science and time to catch up with 🫀⚡️ family! @EU_METAHEART @gabrieleschiat1 @ChristophMaack @BertrandLuc_ky @AliceMarino_ @KatrinStreckf @JohannesBacks @JolandavanderV4

Once upon a time, cardiac metabolism experiment results could be summarized in Fig1 panel A and used to be more … humane? Human? 🤯🤕

Huge congrats on passing your PhD viva Dr Ramchunder!🥂 🎓🥼🧬🧫
