Had a fun time this morning participating in the Kentuckiana AHA heart walk. It’s great to give back to an association that directly supports heart research. It was especially inspiring to hear the stories of all the survivors. #cardiosky

Happy to be participating this weekend in the 2025 Kentuckiana AHA Heart Walk with my little best pal, Amelia. We are supporting the valuable mission of the AHA for all those impacted by cardiovascular disease #cardiosky www2.heart.org/site/TR/Hear...

So proud of my girl. This week she will receive two gold medals for academic performance in math and reading. She’s shaping up to be such a smart, confident and kind hearted girl. I couldn’t ask for more.

Yesterday, we celebrated the recent success of Dr. Marcin Wysoczynski, who was awarded a five-year NIH R01 grant to study how specific types of neutrophils shape the wound healing response after MI. This award marks the start of a new chapter in our understanding of the failing heart.

Congratulations to Dr. Nong for his contributions to this new collaborative review article published in iScience. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... #cardiosky

New publication from the Sansbury lab. This study shows that the ALX/FPR2 signaling axis is necessary for red blood cell homeostasis and that LXA4 activation is important for red pulp macrophage response to acute erythroid stress.

I am deeply thankful and honored to invited to be a featured guest at this weeks Kentuckiana AHA circle of red event on Thursday to speak about the importance of women’s cardiovascular research 🫀💃

Proud of my girl on her first game

Today, we have the distinct pleasure of welcoming Dr. Mattia Quattrocelli to the Center. This morning, during his visit, Dr. Quattrocelli presented recent work from his lab examining the relationship between the circadian clock, glucocorticoid receptor, and striated muscle biology. #cardiosky

Mentoring is a great experience. Witnessing my trainees grow, develop, and shine is a rewarding part of being an academic scientist. I was surprised at lab meeting yesterday with this heart plushy from my masters student, Avery. Such a thoughtful gift. #cardiosky

Yesterday was Graces last day in the lab until next year. Grace is a medical student at UofL and a part of the distinction in research track. She has been working on examining beta-hydroxbutrylation in physiological and pathological conditions. Looking forward to her return #cardiosky

Our 5th Annual Trainee Day was a huge success! We packed it with professional development: pitches, posters, interviews, and a "Shark Tank" scientific pitch. Congrats to all winners: Brittany Reynolds, Ilaria Ferrari, Jonah Stephan, Jamila Makhloufi, Caitlin Howard, and the winning pitch team!

I have organized our Centers annual trainee day for the last couple of years. This evening I was preparing some things for this year’s event. Amelia asked if she could come because she said it sounds fun and now I feel bad that she cried when I said she couldn’t come. #loveher
