Rounding out the CCS presentations, Dr. Helen Collins will present in the Women's Cardiovascular Health Session in the Nicollet D room at 8 am on June 3. She will discuss recent findings from the lab examining Remodeling in the Female Heart in response to Pathological Stress.
Making your list of posters to visit at ISHR-NAS on Monday, June 1? Avery Kendall (pictured), an MEng Student in the laboratory of Dr. Helen Collins, will present her on changes in the maternal cardiac extracellular matrix during pregnancy and the postpartum period (Poster #155).
First, we have Yu “Nancy” Tian (pictured), a PhD student in the Gibb Lab, who will present her master’s thesis work titled “Mitochondrial-to-cytosolic metabolic communication is required for myofibroblast formation via the malate-aspartate shuttle”. Stop by to see her poster #64
Planning your agenda for Tuesday, June 2 at ISHR-NAS? Steven Jones (pictured) kicks off Session 11: Fibroblasts/ Fibrosis at 11:30 am in the lakeshore room, where he will discuss recent work from his laboratory examining post-myocardial infarction ventricular remodeling.
Interested in how the immune system contributes to heart disease? Register now for an exciting webinar from 2 leading experts in the field!!! Details below and don't miss out on hearing the latest and greatest in immune regulation of heart failure. @AHAScience@BCVSearlyCareer
Congratulations to Dr. Jonah Stephan on defending his PhD yesterday! His dissertation on emergency granulopoiesis and wound healing after myocardial infarction is exactly the kind of mechanistic work that advances the field. We are proud that he trained in the Center.
We are excited to host Dr. Loren Wold (pictured) from The Ohio State University, a leading expert on cardiac physiology and environmental toxicology, for today’s Environmental Medicine Grand Rounds.
I am incredibly thankful to be honored by the American Physiology Society in the name of Dr. Guyton. Extremely thankful to my mentors at at UofL SOM, the Envirome Institute, and the Center for Cardiometabolic Science (and beyond) for supporting my laboratory and career.
Special thanks to Steven Jones, Bradford Hill, and Merry Lindsey for believing in me especially when I didn’t necessarily believe in myself, and for wholeheartedly supporting me. Now I better get to work and continue the marathon.
🔔ATTENTION🔔. There is still time to join us in Minneapolis, MN for the 2026 International Society for Heart Research Conference! This premier event has been one of my favorite conferences as both a trainee and now faculty. Hope to see you there!

It is a great pleasure to introduce Dr. Caitlin Howard—AHA Predoctoral Fellow, macrophage mechanist, and incoming Northwestern postdoc with Prof. Elizabeth McNally. Dr. Howard (pictured) recently defended her PhD. Congratulations! #NewPhD#CardioTwitter#WomenInScience
For those that do not get to attend Ilaria Ferrari's or Caitlin Wilkerson's talks, or those wishing to learn more about the research they are both doing in the Center, both Trainees of the Jones Lab will be presenting posters in the Friday evening poster session at the #APSSummit
Headed to #APSsummit this week? Interested in cardiometabolic health and disease? The Center has several Trainee presentations that you should check out.
On Friday, Ilaria Ferrari, an MD/PhD student in the laboratory of Dr. Steven Jones, will give an oral presentation on the beneficial effects of voluntary wheel exercise following myocardial infarction.
Congratulations to Iona Palmer for the acceptance of her paper in JACC-BTS and congratulations to Avery Kendall for the acceptance of her paper in AJP-Heart this week. Keeping my fingers crossed for the three currently under review and the others about to be submitted.
