We are very happy to announce our two new I6 residents! Welcome to the team, Chris and Mark!

[Joshua Chan, MD @JoshuaChanMD]

So proud of Chris He. He's been a member of the Chan Lab since Day 1. Now matched at his #1 choice and staying at Emory for the Integrated CT Surgery residency!

Years of hard work paying off. Huge congratulations! @EmoryCTSRes @EmoryCTSurgery #Match2026 #ChanLab

Our new paper is out in EJCTS on graft dysfunction after heart transplantation!

Postop PGD is marked by persistent mitochondrial energetic disruption on serial plasma metabolomics, with succinate emerging as a central signal linked to oxidative stress. https://t.co/MoX1GbiYMH

Excited to share our work on predictors of heart transplant graft dysfunction!

Ultra-high-resolution metabolomics shows preop arachidonic acid inflammatory signaling, impaired myocardial energetics are associated with developing severe PGD. @jdpreston30

Greetings from Copenhagen!

Huge credit to @claytonjrust for a great talk today, and to the audience for a lively debate on metabolomics & myocardial energetics in heart transplant PGD. @EACTS off to a great start.

Triple duty from @ChrisL_He repping the lab at #ISHLT2025
1️⃣ Uncomplicated HM3 long-term outcomes as good as OHT
2️⃣ EVLP enables use of higher-risk lungs with comparable survival
3️⃣ Impella support up to 93 days shown to be safe

Looking forward to @jdpreston30's talk on using metabolomics to predict graft dysfunction in heart transplant recipients. Thanks to @ISHLT for an incredible platform to present our work! #ISHLT2025

[Joshua Chan, MD @JoshuaChanMD]

Dr. Lorenzo Zaffiri just delivered an eye-opening ISHLT talk on short telomere syndrome and its impact on lung transplants! @EmoryLungtxp

@jdpreston30 is one of 5 finalist for the ISHLT Early Career Scientist Award - will be presenting our work on heart transplant PGD metabolomics!

[Joshua Chan, MD @JoshuaChanMD]

First BrioVAD in the U.S. just done at Emory by @DrManiCTSurgery! Exciting to see a new MagLev LVAD available for patients.
