Two new grants will accelerate atomic-scale research into the molecular mechanisms of cardiomyopathies. In Autumn 2024, CTMR investigator Matthew Childers was awarded a competitive K99/R00 Pathway to Independence Award from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute of the NIH. Childers’ project combines computational simulations of muscle proteins with stem-cell derived cardiomyocytes to create a…
Congratulations to CTMR faculty member Jeff Chamberlain for receipt of the 2024 Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA) Legacy Award for Achievement in Research. Jeff is a leading investigator in gene therapy for Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). This award is presented for outstanding contributions to translational neuromuscular disease research and will be presented at the 2024 MDA…

The CTMR’s Program Manager, Katie Dickinson, is transitioning to support other programs at UW. We will miss Katie in the CTMR. A big thank you to her for skillfully supporting the CTMR over the past year. We wish her all the best in her future endeavors! We are excited to introduce our new Program Manager…
CTMR Investigators, Mike Regnier and David Mack, were part of a multi-institutional research effort to uncover the disease mechanism for hypertrophic cardiomyopathy caused by a mutation in myosin (MYH7 G256E). The project was a collaborative effort between investigators at UW, Stanford University, University of California Santa Barbara, the Curie Institute in Paris, and the Allen Institute for Cell…
