New Grants Power Muscle Science
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…
