Our 2nd year BME PhD student Christian Park presented on exciting atherosclerosis single cell RNA seq study in #AWSOM2023. It was his second time presenting in this conference! #JoLab #BME #EmoryUniversity #GeorgiaTech

Ian Tamargo, Kyung Baek, Yerin Kim & Christian Park Team in @JoLab publishes @NatureReviewsCardiology paper (rdcu.be/dcSUZ). Here, we discuss the emerging concept of disturbed Flow-Induced Reprogramming of ECs (FIRE), EndMT & Endo-Immune-Transition.

New Review! Jo Lab @ Emory and GA Tech and colleagues discuss blood flow-induced reprogramming of endothelial cells in #atherosclerosis: rdcu.be/dcYjc Coulter BME | Emory & Georgia Tech

Our inaugural GRC Biomechanics in Vascular Biology and Disease began this Sunday! It’s so great to see the new and familiar faces! #2023GRCBiomechanics

Our project led by Ian Tamargo and Kyung Baek was just published in Circulation! We identified a novel atheroprotective protein HEG1. ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/CI…

Our postdoctoral fellow, Yerin Kim, has been awarded with prestigious 2024 American Heart Association (AHA) Postdoctoral Fellowship Award. She will investigate novel mechanisms underlying endothelial HEG1 and atherosclerosis. Congratulations Yerin! #JoLab #Emory #AHA

Our predoctoral student, Christian Park, has been awarded with prestigious The Cardiovascular Biomechanics Graduate Training Grant (CBT@EmTech). The purpose of this program is to train next generation of academic leaders. Congratulations Christian!

Our undergraduate student Kiyoung Jeong has been accepted to BS/MS program at Georgia Tech/Emory University. Congratulations Kiyoung!

Ravi Tripathi Ph.D. and Jay Bowman-Kirigin M.D, Ph.D. joined Jo Lab. Dr. Tripathi will focus on novel CEBP-b transcription factor and its roles in atherogenesis. Welcome to Jo Lab!

In addition to BS/MS program, our undergraduate student Kiyoung Jeong has been accepted to PhD program at Georgia Tech/Emory University. Congratulations Kiyoung!

Leandro Choi (B.S. in Biomedical Engineering from Duke University) decided to join our lab. Welcome to Jo Lab, Leo!

Thank you, Prof. Lee.

Our PhD student, Christian Park, is acknowledged as Top Basic Science Oral Presenter at Emory SOM Cardiology research day. His research focuses on emerging concept of Flow-Induced Reprogramming of Endothelial cells (FIRE) and atherosclerosis. Congratulations Christian!

Jay Bowman-Kirigin (MD/PhD from Washington University in St. Louis) and Michael Clark (MD/PhD from University of Chicago, Internal Medicine Residency from Stanford University) decided to join our lab. Welcome to Jo Lab, Jay and Michael!
