Studying vascular biology and cell-cell signaling in microphysiological organ-on-a-chip systems and mouse models. Doing science at @Tulane!

When we started in this #menopause #sexdifferences space ~20 yrs ago reviewers comments included “as nephrologists, whether patient is male or female not important or relevant”, so you can imagine our grant significance scores 😱 We have come a long way! ❤️ @NIDDKgov @ASNKidney

This review paper was written in collaboration with Dr. Mark Mondrinos, our collaborator in the @Tulane Dept. of Biomedical Engineering. In this paper, we discuss importance, strategies, and challenges for incorporating physiological hemodynamic flow in vessel-on-a-chip systems

June 23rd is Global HHT Awareness Day. It's not a date that was chosen at random. June 23rd is Grace Nolan's birthday, who tragically passed away from HHT at 9 years old. Let's get loud this Sunday and spread life-saving awareness
