I’m so pleased that my latest study on hypertension-induced B cell heterogeneity and clonal diversity was so well received at #hypertensionasm2024. A lot of work by myself and members of the @LaTrobe_CVR has gone into it and we could not be happier with the outcome! @SABE_latrobe

Those who know me, know that I unwind by training brazilian jiu jitsu 🥋

However, contact sports are particularly challenging for those with trauma.

On December 1st I’ll be completing 1 jiu jitsu round for every woman lost to gender-based violence. Currently that’s 59 rounds…

[Dr. Hericka B. Figueiredo Galvão @b_hericka]

I will also be fundraising for the Conscious Combat Club charity whose goal is to open a dedicated safe space for women living with trauma to reclaim their body, confidence & strength through trauma-informed martial arts!
