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…
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…
The CTMR is transitioning from X (Twitter) to Bluesky. Follow us on Bluesky Our X (Twitter) account will be closed at the end of January.
We are excited to announce the recipients of the Center for Translational Muscle Research (CTMR) Pilot Award Program for Year 8! This program supports innovative, early-stage research projects that advance our understanding of muscle biology and translate discoveries toward clinical impact. This year’s pilot awards are made possible through the generous support of the National…
The remarkable research of CTMR faculty was recently featured on the UW College of Engineering homepage! Read the full story here: Engineering heart health. Congratulations to the Sniadecki, Davis, and Regnier research groups!
