The Fang Lab

Studying vascular biology and cell-cell signaling in microphysiological organ-on-a-chip systems and mouse models. Doing science at @Tulane!

[The Fang Lab @Fang_Lab]

We are so excited to finally share our first paper out of the lab, a review on Cx37’s role as a cell cycle regulator in the vasculature, published today in JVR. This paper was truly a labor of love!

When we started in this #menopause #sexdifferences space ~20 yrs ago reviewers comments included “as nephrologists, whether patient is male or female not important or relevant”, so you can imagine our grant significance scores 😱
We have come a long way! ❤️ @NIDDKgov @ASNKidney

Thankful to be able to present my PhD work on a novel PANX1 isoform at @igjc2024

[The Fang Lab @Fang_Lab]

This review paper was written in collaboration with Dr. Mark Mondrinos, our collaborator in the @Tulane Dept. of Biomedical Engineering.

In this paper, we discuss importance, strategies, and challenges for incorporating physiological hemodynamic flow in vessel-on-a-chip systems

[The Fang Lab @Fang_Lab]

We are excited to announce publication of our lab's latest review paper: "Capturing physiological hemodynamic flow and mechanosensitive cell signaling in vessel-on-a-chip platforms", part of Mechanotransduction in Vascular Development and Disease topic

Happy to see this one out in the world after a mammoth effort. If you like c-Src (who doesn’t?!) and watching vessels blow up like a balloon, this one is for you!

Thanks to @J_Cell_Sci, who made this a delightful process. https://t.co/w9Y816JQWO

June 23rd is Global HHT Awareness Day. It's not a date that was chosen at random.

June 23rd is Grace Nolan's birthday, who tragically passed away from HHT at 9 years old.

Let's get loud this Sunday and spread life-saving awareness

[Cure HHT @curehht]

Double the impact of your gift TODAY and TODAY only!

On Global HHT Awareness Day, The Grace Nolan Foundation has generously agreed to match the first $25,000 we raise. Please consider giving generously to fuel our mission to create change within HHT: https://t.co/fwnrD7VdIL.

NIH to increase pay for predoctoral and postdoctoral NRSA. Predocs now earn will go up 4% and postdocs will start at $61,008 (+8%), with more based on experience. Also boosting childcare subsidies and funds for training expenses.

Eagle-eyed readers will see graduate student Edward working at the dissection scope, and lab manager Hannah and undergraduate student Brandon having a meeting in the open desk space adjacent to the lab.

Bonus points for spotting Dr. Fang’s lab coat!

[The Fang Lab @Fang_Lab]

We are delighted to be settled into our new home in the beautiful new Paul Hall research building @Tulane. Our lab space and research team are featured in many of the photos that accompany this article in the Tulanian!
