Delighted to announce my promotion to Assistant (Tenure Track) Professor in Cardiovascular Aging at @MedUniGraz! 🎉🎉🎉 Grateful to my mentors, friends, and family for their support throughout this rewarding journey. Excited to embark on the next chapter with equal enthusiasm!

[Mahmoud Abdellatif @Mah_abdellatif]

Our review examining the hallmarks of cardiovascular aging at the molecular, cellular and whole organ levels is out in @NatRevCardiol ❤️

We hope this piece constitutes a useful and extensible framework of therapeutic targets in age-related CVD 🩺

In print today, our @CircAHA paper resolving the controversy of whether IGF1R signaling is cardioprotective or detrimental. Turns out both are true, depending on whether the heart is young or old!
>6 yrs, 5 reviewers, and many resubmisssions to reach this "simple" conclusion. 😅

[Circulation @CircAHA]

#OriginalResearch: The relationship between #IGF1R signaling and cardiac health seems biphasic. Increased signaling at old age accentuates cardiac dysfunction by reducing autophagy and mitochondrial oxidative capacity. @mah_abdellatif #AHAJournals https://t.co/cYaw4dc3NG

Building upon the great advice of Hugh Laverty- I ask the following question: who is on the look out for a cutting edge EU partner for #PrecisionOncology?🧐

Let's have a virtual chat and talk about potential opportunities ☕️ #WelcomeIHI #EUPartnerships @IHIEurope

YOU 🤝US

I am here to let everyone know that if you love science, but #academia just does not feel right, there are so many other paths! I am ~a month into my new role outside of academia, and I couldn't be happier. #phdchat #phdvoice #happy

@Alephoriae Congrats 🥳👏🏻🤩

[Leen Assil-Companioni @bacterialmaster]

As we have grown to expect- nothing short of exquisite work now live from @Mah_abdellatif @simon_sedej 👏🏻

[Mahmoud Abdellatif @Mah_abdellatif]

Pleased to share this @CircAHA paper, where we critically discussed cardiac #NAD metabolism in #aging+major cardiac diseases & raised outstanding questions on the optimal design of clinical trials to test the therapeutic potential of this central molecule.
