In @ScienceMagazine we used single cell multiomics, human PET imaging, and in vivo lineage tracing to identify FAP as a marker of modulated vascular cells in coronary artery disease. We used anti FAP BiTE therapy to reduce plaque burden in vivo.

Another year, another retreat for the Foo lab, this time in the shabby chic Lotus Resort at Desaru, Johor Malaysia. Getting to know you, learning science from each other, scientific mentorship and leadership practice. @NUSMedicine@TheFooLab
Plz repost!
New Postdoc Position: Join our lab at UA Sarver Heart Center to develop nanoparticle & protein delivery platforms for cardiac regeneration. PhD in nanotech/biomed eng/pharm sci required; in vivo delivery a plus. Email: [email protected] #Postdoc #Nanomedicine #Regeneration
We discover RUNX1 as a nodal regulator of human cardiac recovery and uncover a druggable epigenetic mechanism in macrophages that orchestrates functional, structural, and molecular features of organ recovery @LavineLab@m_alexanian@Amgen@ImmunoFibHF

Our Spatial Transcriptomics study of human #aortic full thickness punches shows smooth muscle cell clusters in early atherosclerotic #plaque, and an iron-driven macrophage-like cell state that can be targeted to prevent progression @10xGenomics@TheFooLab

Organs don't work in silos !! It's time to track outcomes across the disease specialities, when they are so much metabolism driven today @NUSMedicine https://t.co/f1RPY0r4mK
We use CITE-seq, Xenium, human PET imaging, and in vivo lineage tracing to identify FAP as a marker of modulated SMCs in human coronary artery disease and show that treatment with an anti FAP bi-specific T cell engager reduces plaque burden in vivo https://t.co/KnH9PveM5S
Open faculty positions announcement: 2 advanced HF faculty positions are available at The University of Arizona. All faculty ranks. Competitive salaries and startups. Message me for more details. Plz repost.
None of this team entered science to make a high salary. Several could well have a luxury life doing something else. So each time we get a chance to let the hair down and put fun into our science and team building, we make the best of it. A lab retreat to remember @TheFooLab
The wonderful joys of hanging out with younger people...and learning from them about their aspirations and big dreams @TheFooLab going into the new year (early) @NUSMedicine@CvdNus
Grateful for the plug for RESET. We are still on a drive to enrol participants..... free scans and tests, and a 5yr long follow up with the medical team... on a look out for causes and drivers of early heart and metabolic disease @CvdNus@TheFooLab https://t.co/vCxHQujaZq
Happy to share that our (@TheFooLab@astar_gis@CvdNus) manuscript on human genomic safe harbours validated in hES and differentiated cells is now published in @eLife https://t.co/ZVI0VJzCmv

Fun moments this afternoon as the Cardiovascular Programme got together ahead of Christmas... Lucky draw, cash vouchers, ice cream cart, popcorn, photo booth, Santa dressing up... Hilarity all round. Amazing year at @NUSMedicine@NUSResearch@CvdNus
