🎓 Congratulations to 𝗗𝗿. 𝗛𝗶𝗲𝗯𝗶𝗻𝗴! 🥳

As the first PhD student to join the Cardiovascular Biomechanics Lab, Ashley contributed her intelligence, coding prowess, and vision to help shape our team.

Wishing her all the best with the Vedula group at Columbia University! 🚀

🚨New paper alert🚨- excited to share our publication in Cardiovascular Pathology (pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41285368/). Fantastic imaging analysis from Cate Eberman elucidating the spatiotemporal changes in healing following myocardial infarction in rats! Congratulations!

🚨 Attending BMES? Don’t miss recent PhD graduate Daniel Pearce’s talk: “Late Reperfusion Therapy Broadens and Mechanically Smooths the Borderzone During Post-Infarction Inflammation"
