Last week, I presented a flash talk on the research I have carried out during my DPhil at the EFMC-ISMC conference in Rome. I had the most amazing time attending talks, discussing science and even managed a bit of exploring around the beautiful Rome. Angela Russell Heather Group


Congratulations to our DPhil student Marcos Castro Guarda on receiving the William C. Stanley Early Investigator Award at the #SHVM2024 Society for Heart and Vascular Metabolism conference! His project focuses on the dual role of fumarate as an intracellular and extracellular hypoxia-induced signaling molecule


Congratulations @TNicolPhD for winning runner-up at COST Action EU-METAHEART at the Young Research Innovator session 🎉🎉




This afternoon was the inaugural seminar of Heart Rhythm Club where DPhil students Aaron Jiashuo Zhang and Kostas Lekkos are co-presidents and founders! The talk was given by Head of Department Prof David Paterson! The session was a huge success 🎉🎉DPAG Researcher’s Society Department of Physiology Anatomy & Genetics (DPAG)


It was a huge pleasure having Prof Paterson giving the first talk Department of Physiology Anatomy & Genetics (DPAG) today. Thank you to all who came and supported us. Special thanks to Profs Vlad Vyazovskiy Zoltan Molnar for all your guidance. Our next event will be featuring Prof Naveed Akbar on November 11th at 4pm.


A massive well done and congrats to Ríona Devereux who successfully defended her DPhil thesis on Tuesday! We’re really proud of you! Department of Physiology Anatomy & Genetics (DPAG) Excited for what’s next!

Very honored to have been able to present my research with Heather Group Department of Physiology Anatomy & Genetics (DPAG) as a second year PhD student ISHR2025 in Nara world Congress!!


🚨New from our group in Circulation Research We identify a FoxO1-zDHHC4-CD36 S-acylation axis driving metabolic + contractile dysfunction in the diabetic heart. Blocking this pathway reprograms FA metabolism and improves heart function. Read more: 🔗 ahajournals.org/doi/full/10.11…

Well done to Ríona Devereux who gave her talk yesterday at Society for Heart and Vascular Metabolism as recipient of The William C Stanley Early Investigator Award!


Congratulations to Nikola Srnic who won the first SHVM memorial poster award yesterday! Society for Heart and Vascular Metabolism #SHVM2025
