Registration Open for ISHR-JMCC Webinars (4/26 & 4/28)

Congratulations to CTMR Team Core D for their JGP May cover showing “A detailed computational model of striated muscle elucidates how mutations and drugs may alter twitch timing. The spatially explicit model simulates myosin motors connected within a compliant, contractile lattice, complete with thin filament regulation and varying mutation penetrance. The model yields data used…

A huge congratulations to 2020 CTMR pilot grant recipient Farid Moussavi-Harami, MD, who recently received a Notice of Award for his first NIH R01 grant! An Assistant Professor with the UW Medicine’s Division of Cardiology, Dr. Moussavi Harami’s CTMR pilot grant study focused on the genetic mutations, such as dilated cardiomyopathy, impacted contractile force in…

On October 24th, 2022 the CTMR held its annual symposium. Over 130 people registered and researchers from a variety of backgrounds shared their work during our first in-person symposium since the founding of the Center in 2019.   CTMR director, Dr, Michael Regnier welcomed scientists from near and far. Although most of the attendees were from…

Dr. Nagana Gowda, CTMR Investigator and Research Associate Professor in the Department of Anesthesiology & Pain Medicine, has been awarded an NIH Research Project Grant (R01) thanks in part to CTMR Pilot Grant support. Dr. Gowda’s awarded project is entitled “Quantitative Analysis of Labile Metabolites in Biological Samples” and focuses on addressing the current lack…

Proposals to the Pilot Grant program of the UW Center for Translational Muscle Research (CTMR) are now being accepted. This program supports the development of exciting new muscle research by enabling investigators to obtain preliminary data needed to apply for follow-on funding and receive training in new skills. Funding up to $25,000 (direct costs) is available. Applications are due…
