Obesity and it's effects on the cardiovascular system.

[Camilla Ferreira Wenceslau @CFWenceslau]

Vascular folks, stay tuned!
A major guideline for evaluating endothelial function is coming! This effort brings together 27 scientists,leaders in the field, from multiple countries and across career stages ( ≥15 years of experience )

Having a blast presenting work @American_Heart #VascularDiscovery meeting in Baltimore

[Mark Renton @MarkCRenton]

Thanks again to the @American_Heart and those who chose to fund me and this important research! Great article from @FralinBiomed @vtnews @virginia_tech.

How does obesity increase heart disease risk? 🫀

#VirginiaTech researcher Mark Renton earned an @American_Heart fellowship to study how the pannexin-1 protein regulates blood flow—and what that means for obesity-related heart conditions.

@KoenenMascha Thanks @KoenenMascha , hope everything is going well on your end!

[Mark Renton @MarkCRenton]

@conn_pann_fun @zuza_juskiewicz @vascularbiology Congrats team! 🎉

[Mark Renton @MarkCRenton]

Early Christmas present last week was finding out I received an @American_Heart postdoctoral fellowship with a 1 percentile score! Looking forward to studying cardiac endothelial signaling in obesity 🫀

Thank you to @vascularbiology for the opportunity to share our work on smooth muscle cell proliferation at Vascular Biology 2024 in sunny Monterey, CA!

[Mark Renton @MarkCRenton]

Come join our fun lab in Roanoke!

[Scott Johnstone @ScottRJ_VT]

We are hiring: Research assistant to help with the day to day running of the lab focused on understanding vascular disease. Reach out if you have any questions and RT please https://t.co/gKvCXZgBcT

[Mark Renton @MarkCRenton]

Excited to share this invited review for the special selection on 'Protein kinase D in health and disease' in BBA - Molecular Cell Research.

Super excited about the opportunity of targeting PKD in many obesity related diseases! 🔬

Thanks @MSedovy for the chop out! COVID is not fun! Shattered to miss out on my first @igjc2024 conference.

Exciting research we can't wait to get out to everyone from the @ScottRJ_VT lab.

[IGJC2024 @igjc2024]

Meghan Sedovy did a great job representing Dr Mark Renton in her talk: "Macrophages initiate smooth muscle cell proliferation via gap junctions during neointima formation"

[Mark Renton @MarkCRenton]

Coming off an insightful and very productive two weeks in Bar Harbor, Maine. Completed the Reproducible and FAIR Bioinformatics Analysis of Omics Data 2024 Course by @MDIBL @GeiselMed.

Great instructors and a great cohort!

[Scott Johnstone @ScottRJ_VT]

Celebrating Inventors and new Proof Of Concept Grant tonight. Congrats to @MSedovy and @MarkCRenton on an exciting new project. Thank you to @VTresearch @VT_TBMH @FralinBiomed - First time @LaneStadium hopefully get to a game this year :)

[Scott Johnstone @ScottRJ_VT]

Big congrats to our newest postdoctoral member @MarkCRenton on his first conference poster award. Thank you @vascularbiology NAVBO for an excellent meeting in Rhode Island. @FralinBiomed @VirginiaTechPo1

[Mark Renton @MarkCRenton]

Great room view on the opening morning of #NAVBO2023 at Newport, Rhode Island. Excited to keep learning more about vascular biology and share some of our work!

@AmitabhCPandey Thoroughly enjoyed your talk too, Amitabh. And thanks for the restaurant recommendations!

[Mark Renton @MarkCRenton]

Had a blast learning all about vascular biology at #vasculata New Orleans! @vascularbiology

Thanks for the opportunity to present and thanks to the organisers for putting a great meeting together.

[Mark Renton @MarkCRenton]
