My doctoral research has led to two exciting areas of work that could open doors to new therapeutic targets for Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) and/or improve patient outcomes.
I am happy to share that I have been awarded the @American_Heart Predoctoral Fellowship to support my PhD training in Cardiovascular and Circadian Biology.
Thanks to my advisor, the @FralinBiomed and @VT_TBMH.
I am also thrilled that my NRSA F31 grant is ranked 8th percentile.

It was fun to present our newly published work @FralinBiomed on neurostimulation timing patterns for traumatic brain injury from the Journal of Neurotrauma last night at the Wudang International Medical Forum on Neuroscience.

Great day at FBRI annual retreat @FralinBiomed today! 7 new faculty members introduced themselves & presented their work after roundtable research center visioning activities and state of the institute report. Tomorrow we hear from the grad students, med students and postdocs!
Interestingly, “Black” in most of those studies refer to Black American, and not the black race. And this in mind, many factors come to play like socioeconomic status and diets. We do know that these factors are disproportionately distributed among Black, White and Hispanic.

2 years ago, i got my PhD after a total of 15 years at the university leading to these degrees:
-BSc Chemistry
-MSc Analytical Chemistry
-MSc Ecotoxicology
-PhD Ecotoxicology
I thought achieving the PhD would be the most challenging endeavour i faced until my first job. Thread!

Another retraction for Joachim Boldt.
"A statement by Justus Liebig University [...] has recommended that journal editors consider retracting all articles "where Boldt is the responsible author even if there is no obvious indication of falsification"."
