Thrilled to have presented a poster at @thebhf.bsky.social / @cambridgecardio.bsky.social Symposium yesterday!

My poster highlighted taste receptors with potential to combat uncontolled blood vessel growth – possibly opening doors for therapies. Grateful for the feedback & brilliant discussions! 🫀🧪

Me stood in front of my poster titled "Novel GPCR in the lung endothelium regulates VEGF-mediated angiogenesis"
