My journey continues to advance care for patients with congenital heart disease, and I could not be more excited to train together with many remarkable co-residents, faculty, and staff!

I have had many mentors who have supported me in my MD-PhD journey, and I could not be more grateful for all of their mentorship and guidance to reach this new milestone @SeanM_Wu @StanfordMSTP @Will_Goodyer @HanZhuMD @Tahmina_Samad @Raissadati

@MarkEPepin @SeanM_Wu @SoahLeePhD @Tahmina_Samad @rasmus_o_bak Thanks so much Mark!

[Francisco Galdos MD, PhD @fxgaldos]

Excited to share our work on FHF lineage tracing in human iPSCs & the generation of hiPSC-derived left ventricular CMs! A special thanks to all the co-authors for their contributions. @SeanM_Wu @SoahLeePhD @Tahmina_Samad @rasmus_o_bak See ⬇️ for a🧵 https://t.co/yiDQoWQCNK

Lastly, when comparing our 2D protocol with scRNA-seq data from a 3D protocol (Drakhlis et al, Nat Comm 2021), we found that a 3D system has the potential to give rise to SHF-like progenitors indicating the potential of 3D approaches for modeling FHF/SHF development! 8/8

[Francisco Galdos MD, PhD @fxgaldos]

Importantly, we observed a FHF-like progenitor population during hiPSC differentiation that emerged from an early ISL1+ cardiac progenitor, providing a unique view into the emergence of the FHF in a human model system. 7/8
