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…
The CTMR is thrilled to host Dr. Jonathan Kirk, Professor and Vice Chair at the Stritch School of Medicine Cell & Molecular Physiology, Loyola University of Chicago on: April 24, 2025, from 9-10am at our Cardiovascular Biology Breakfast Club seminar series. The seminar is available in a hybrid format on Zoom and in person at…
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!
The CTMR is transitioning from X (Twitter) to Bluesky. Follow us on Bluesky at: https://bsky.app/profile/ctmr-uw.bsky.social Our X (Twitter) account will be closed at the end of January.
We are thrilled to share that the CTMR was RENEWED! Here’s to another 5 years of supporting muscle research translational muscle research!
Dr. Christian Mandrycky, a postdoc jointly mentored by CTMR Investigators Mike Regnier & David Mack, was invited to present his work at the Cardiovascular Biology Breakfast Club Seminar Series on the spookiest day of the year– October 31, 2024 — Halloween! Talk Title: Modeling distal arthrogryposis with stem cell derived skeletal muscle Christian brought the Halloween…
The CTMR is thrilled to host Dr. Steve Schwartz, Regents Professor of Chemistry and Biochemistry at the University of Arizona at today’s Cardiovascular Biology Breakfast Club seminar series. Dr. Schwartz shares his work on: Theoretical studies of the cardiac thin and thick filament- Structure, the allosteric transmission of mutation and drug mechanism.
Please see the below descriptions of 3 excellent, available postdoc positions in CTMR Investigator Labs. Please consider applying and/or share with your networks! The Regnier Lab invites applications for a postdoctoral fellow to join our cutting-edge research on gene & cell therapy for heart disease. This position offers an exciting opportunity to develop genome-edited induced…
How individuals, labs, centers, and institutions collaborated to produce the first ever computational model showing changes at the protein level manifesting at the protein, sarcomere, cell, tissue, and organ level. A new study made partially possible by the CTMR Quantitative Analysis Core Resources was recently published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences…
