NUS AAS Australian Vascular Biology Society Denuja Karunakaran, PhD 👩🏽‍🔬🔬🧬🫀 Heart Research Institute Monash University The Florey John Curtin School of Medical Research, ANU Our last Rising Star 🌟 is Tayla Hughes Tayla Hughes! She shares her PhD work on “Distinct aortic endothelial cell subtype promotes vascular remodelling during angiotensin II-induced aortic stiffening” using single-cell sequencing. Great work Tayla! #2023JointASM Cardiovascular Biology and Disease Research

Division lead Amy Baxter and Australian Vascular Biology Society Rising ECR Star 🌟 is sharing her work today at #2023JointASM. She is examining the role of vascular endothelial cells in efferocytosis and whether this can be harnessed therapeutically. Congratulations Amy!! 👏 @ANZMS AAS

Hope or hype? Vivian Tran sharing her work on intermittent fasting during metabolic syndrome today at the #2023JointASM ! A fabulous talk and promising future #cardiovascular therapeutic in metabolic syndrome!

Almost towards the end! CCBDR takes on #2023JointASM dinner with the beautiful weather and backdrop! Only one talk to go… Catch A/Prof Bill’s Antony (Bill) Vinh talk at 9:30am if you want to learn more about divergent effects of IL-18- and IL-18R-deficiency on ang II-induced AAA formation

Co-lead of the Hypertension & Diabetes division A/Prof Bill Antony (Bill) Vinh is now sharing the role of IL-18 and IL-18R in AAA and IL-37 suppression in ang II-induced hypertension. #2023JointASM @ANZMS AAS Australian Vascular Biology Society

Congratulations to our rising star Tayla Hughes on her David Garlick Young Investigator award!! 🌟🤩 La Trobe MAPP Postgrads La Trobe Agriculture, Biomedicine & Environment Microbiology, Anatomy, Physiology and Pharmacology

Feeling incredibly blessed to not only have presented my pre-submission seminar this week, but also share my last PhD results chapter at #2023JointASM in beautiful Hahndorf. So grateful to be surrounded by the ever so supportive @ANZMS Australian Vascular Biology Society AAS committee!

Great minds dress alike 🧠 Tayla Hughes Vivian Tran Cardiovascular Biology and Disease Research

Amazing turnout today at #SYMP4MAPP2023! 🤩 Great job to all of todays presenters and organisers! La Trobe MAPP Postgrads Microbiology, Anatomy, Physiology and Pharmacology

Jacinta Agius Zahra Telikani Buddhila Wickramasinghe Jay Laws People choice, noice! Congrats Satar for taking out people’s choice poster!!

If you’re interested in IL18, Buddhila Wickramasinghe knows everything about it!!! Check out her poster now!

I know her!!!! Huge congratulations Vivian Tran 🎉🎉🎉

Our invited review on aortic cellular heterogeneity in health and disease is available in the latest issue of Hypertension!! We discuss some of the new insights gained from recent #scRNAseq studies. Click the link below to give it a read: ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/HY…

Left pic was me last Thursday when I submitted my PhD thesis and right pic is me today in SF 💃!! Big thank you to Dr Maria Jelinić & Antony (Bill) Vinh for shaping me into the scientist I am today. What’s next? Whether it be #scicomm #STEMoutreach #impact or research, I can’t wait!!

Thrilled to share that my first ‘first-author’ paper has been published! Have a read about how hesperidin can reduce insulin resistance and oxidative stress in metabolic syndrome. Huge thank you to everyone involved. mdpi.com/2218-273X/14/6…
