Hosting the 2nd COMET Leducq Network Meeting in beautiful Boston! 🌟 A fantastic week of inspiring science, collaborations, and discussion as our PIs and Fellows share their research journeys - all alongside great company and delicious food. 💙 #COMETNetwork #LeducqFoundation
Cathy and Meng are at the Joint Europe Calcification Meeting 2025, and Meng won 1st place for her oral presentation! 🏆

A day of insightful talks, engaging discussions, and inspiring posters highlights the passion of this vibrant research community.
Meet the Miller Lab, Univ. of Virginia! @clintomics.bsky.social

They study genetic & environmental risk factors for coronary artery & complex cardiovascular diseases using multi-omics, genomic datasets & functional models, aiming to uncover disease mechanisms & new strategies for prevention.
Cathy Shanahan, one of our PIs, recently attended the ESC Congress in Madrid, Europe’s premier cardiovascular meeting. She chaired a session on cardiac macrophages and was a poster discussant on immunometabolism, inflammation, and vascular disease.

Throwback to our first official COMET Leducq conference in London this May! After insightful sessions, we capped it off with a ride on the London Eye and a scenic river cruise—networking, laughter, and unforgettable views. #COMETLeducq #London #Networking
Dr. Chen chaired a scientific session and her team presented exciting new findings on vascular calcification at #Pathobiology2025 by @asipath.bsky.social. A proud moment for the lab pushing boundaries in cardiovascular research!

Breaking boundaries in heart science!

The first COMET Network meeting brought global experts to London to decode vascular calcification using cutting-edge omics.

Collaboration, discovery, and a path toward targeted therapies.

Introducing COMET (Calcification-Omics, Molecular Elucidation & Therapeutics)!

We’re decoding vascular calcification using cutting-edge genomics and molecular science to tackle heart disease and reduce cardiovascular risks.

Join us on this exciting journey!

We’re live on Bluesky!

Excited to share our first update: At the American Heart Association in 2024, Dr. Chen led a session on Vascular & Valvular Calcification, where @rajmalhotramd.bsky.social presented a talk on Clinical Genomics in Cardiovascular Calcification.
