Excited for Dr. Diana Hunter's Michael Smith Foundation (Michael Smith Health Research BC) Trainee Award to start this month! She will be examining #LQTS-causing variants in induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes. SFU Science #Physiology #ipsc

Last but certainly not least we are hearing from Ravichandra Venkateshappa, PhD., who is telling us about how to target the hERG channel to protect against arrhythmias 🫀 #BPKillinit #BPKRD2022

Thank you ICORD for including us in last week's newsletter! We are pleased to share that our recent correspondence in Spinal Cord Journal is part of their 2021 Reader's Choice list, along with other highly cited and downloaded articles from the past year.

Congratulations to Daman and Julia for securing 1st place in 2022 BPK research day poster competition. 🎉🎉🎉🎉

Congratulations to Debi for successfully defending her master’s thesis on “Detecting kcnh gene expression in Zebrafish hearts using whole mount in situ hybridization”.🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

So proud of all awardees, and especially our very own @veraellenlucci, who also holds a CIHR postdoctoral award! So well deserved and so pleased to launch these exciting projects together! SFU Research Michael Smith Health Research BC SFU BPK Engage

Victoria Claydon delivers the David Robertson lecture with a superb overview of autonomic dysfunction in spinal cord injury. Research in her laboratory has advanced knowledge in this area considerably. Claydon Lab American Autonomic Society

We are so grateful for this generous donation made from Drs. William and Claire Cupples to research in SFU Science 🎉👩‍🔬🧑‍🔬 We miss seeing Will in the hallways of BPK, but what exciting news!! #iambpk #sfubpk

Looking forward to our inaugural Translational Cardiac Arrhythmia Day (TADA!) this Friday with an exceptional group of clinicians and basic scientists from Vancouver, Victoria, Calgary, Toronto, Seattle, and keynote speaker @APLandstrom from Durham, North Carolina! #TADA2022

Welcome to TADA 2022! Shubhayan Sanatani starting us off this beautiful, sunny November morning. We are so happy to have so many wonderful people at #TADA2022 !

A snapshot from Dr. Vic Claydon’s presentation on autonomic conflict, highlighting its many different presentations including cold water immersion, autonomic dysreflexia, and vasovagal syncope. #TADA2022

Thank you BCCH EP Research for organizing #TranslationalCardiacArrhythmiaDay (TADA)🎩🎉 It was nice to share Claydon Lab research!! Great talks by all the dynamic speakers👏🏽 #RyR1 #GeneTherapy #Mavacamten #SCN5A #Ankyrin-B #AutonomicConflict

Excellent work led by our own Abhilasha Jain! Looking forward to exploring the hERG1NP more! pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…
