Thrilled to finally share this work! In this first first-author pub from my PhD, we characterize the important functional role of the co-chaperone BAG3 at the cardiac #sarcomere. Check it out!

It’s a BAG3 week! Excited to share our study of BAG3 expression and sarcomeric localization in human heart failure.

NERC just sent an email out recognising that the cost of living increase means its PhD stipend isn't sufficient to live on. Their solution isn't to increase it, it's to suggest students start selling Avon and sign up to clinical trials...

The GLP-1 family of drugs have exceeded all expectations, beyond diabetes and obesity. Now there's a pre-clinical GLP-1 and NMDA dual receptor drug with many enhanced features that could prove to be another step forward nature nature.com/articles/d4158… nature.com/articles/s4158…

A two-in-one drug that modulates neural pathways involved in appetite and reward might prove to be more effective and longer lasting than current weight-loss drugs on the market go.nature.com/3V2d8aL
