Research lab at @UABHeersink studying epigenetics, metabolism and heart disease

Birmingham, AL
Joined August 2022
Meet Mahima Reddy, a Ph.D. candidate in the @AdamWende Lab in @UABPathology. Her research focuses on O-GlcNAc-driven cardiac remodeling, which is similar to the cardiac pathology seen in diabetes-related heart failure. Read more: go.uab.edu/ucdcmahimareddy

Happy to report we have published a new study on "O-GlcNAc Memory". We hope that the findings will provide insight into the mechanism behind increased susceptibility to heart failure in patients with diabetes. ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/…

Excited about our new publication in Epigenetics defining a model to test glycemic memory and the potential role of glucose as a signaling molecule to lead to sustained susceptibility to exacerbated remodeling in response to subsequent pressure overload. tandfonline.com/doi/10.1080/…

An amazing first day of #AHA24 ❤️ Celebrating 100years, and learning about cutting edge work ranging from landmark clinical trials to trailblazing basic sciences!! Can’t wait to learn and experience more (… and apparently there’s a “puppy snuggle zone”?!? Will update on that)

There are only a few meetings I like to attend. However, those from the KSoLA in Korea have always been a favorite. Please consider attending if you can! file:///Users/arwende/Library/Containers/com.microsoft.Outlook/Data/tmp/Outlook%20Temp/22nd_DAWAS%20Newsletter.html
