Excited to share this new collaborative #EmboMolMed work from my lab #ChildrensAL & Jim Dowling labs. Work highlights efforts to generate a new animal model for X-linked myopathy with excessive autophagy (XMEA) and perform corrective drug screening. 1/n tinyurl.com/ym7svnwm

NYCBEC March ‘25 ed: commiserating & strategizing @ricardo-ca.bsky.social @irenedelazaro.bsky.social @santicorreaphd.bsky.social

Late to the party… start me up, my Bleeps!

Good morning #MyoBlue 🧪 In the midst of all this chaos, we want to stay positive and continue to do what we love the most! We are hiring a technician to help with ongoing satellite cell and muscle projects. Please repost large and wide Interested folks can apply here, enquiries to me are welcome

Here’s my take on milk clarified Empress negroni to celebrate surviving and getting through a long week 🥃

Deleted my Twitter/X account, finally.

This week is a special one. Celebrating my birthday with the best lab/team & students I could ask for & had the honor and privilege hosting prof Heungsoo Shin in NYC at Sinai/Columbia with @ricardo-ca.bsky.social

Big #RegenerativeMedicine advance! New study demonstrates the use of iPSC-heart muscle to treat a patient with heart failure. The patches successfully engrafted, contributing to heart repair. Patient survived 3 months before receiving a heart transplant www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Our lab is looking to add a postdoc to our team investigating skeletal muscle function after injury, applicants with expertise in physiology and imaging very welcome! hr.myu.umn.edu/jobs/ext/364... Reach out with any questions

Submit your research to a special issue in Biomedical Materials Research Part A (JBMR-A) called "Biomaterials for Women's Health" - super excited to guest edit with Jessica Weaver and working with Kent Leach to put together an exciting issue! 🧪 Learn more and submit your article: lnkd.in/gZRm8Zhs

New #NPJRegenMed paper: Myoblast-derived ADAMTS-like 2 promotes skeletal muscle regeneration after injury. #MyoBlue tinyurl.com/ywrhzv79

Happy holidays from Mount Sinai ORL! 🎅🌲

Happy holidays! ❄️ The 2nd annual Han Lab cook-off was a huge success and fun. Everyone brought their A-game! Yes, we now have a plaque with the winner’s names engraved…

❄️ NYCBEC December edition ❄️

I noticed there wasn’t a starter pack for skeletal muscle scientists, so I made one as the muscle community continues to migrate here. Drop a comment if you’d like to be included! go.bsky.app/3hKK1WX

The Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai and Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) launched the joint Center for Engineering and Precision Medicine (CEPM). Applications are now open for our inaugural PhD in Health Science Engineering. Apply by January 1, 2025! cepmresearch.org/academic-pro...

I didn’t see a general starter pack for people in the #BME and #BioE communities so I started to put one together. Let me know if I’ve missed anyone in particular or if you’d like to be added! #ScienceSky #AcademicSky go.bsky.app/9nMCGLK

🤩How does exercise keep us strong? Led by Casper Soendenbroe, motor neurons are better supported by muscle stem cells and fibroblasts from life long exercisers v inactive ppl🏃 #keepmoving 🙏 @benchazaud.bsky.social #TeamLyon 🙏 @lundbeckfonden @ismcopenhagen.bsky.social doi.org/10.1111/acel...

Great day at the annual musculoskeletal research symposium at Montefiore/Einstein SOM. Lab photo with the best team. Super excited for our MS student Larion getting a young investigator award!

A new #harleylab preprint. Work by Dr. Chia-Wen Chang that adapts one of our biomaterial systems to look at microglia activity in the context of brain cancer. Funded by #NIH/NCI

We have a very basic starter pack!! If you work on 3D biology and organoids broadly defined and want to be included, leave a comment below go.bsky.app/QeDg2YD

@thewooj.bsky.social came to Columbia this week to share his amazing research during our new musculoskeletal talks series! Terrific learning about your biomaterials to improve muscle regeneration, hope you enjoyed seeing the uptown campus

The Biomaterials Starter Pack is continuing to grow - please share with your colleagues! Self-nominate yourself to the list, we're looking for anyone working or researching within the broad scope of biomaterials either in academia or industry. go.bsky.app/DymaVAp
