EU augments opportunities for scientists around the world to launch or re-launch their careers in Europe.

Europe’s choice is clear.

To put science at the heart of its economy.

To become the home of scientific freedom and collaboration.

And to welcome talent from all over the world.

I’m glad to present the first elements of our Choose Europe Initiative.

In line with our expectations, we found marked changes in markers of mitochondrial function and in energy status of hearts from people with Barth syndrome. Confirming this in this unique tissue sample is a major step forward and hopefully one of the building blocks on our path to therapy.

First of all, we are super grateful to the affected individuals and their families for the courageous decision to share their heart for research purposes. And to the Barth Syndrome Foundation for orchestrating the biobank at University of Florida, as well as their financial support! 🙏🏼

We publish our multi-omics analyses of cardiac samples obtained from people with Barth syndrome, in comparison to hearts from people without heart failure.

We likely need to curate a geroscience pack - I would also be interested!
Tagging the scientists in that space that I know are here and can think of:
