A Tribute to Cristiano Ronaldo

Big day for Han Kim Lab! Huge congratulations to Dr. Oh Yena Oh on successfully defending her PhD! 🥳👏 So proud of your achievement and grateful to have worked with you as our first PhD student. uOttawaCMM UOHI Research Services

🚨 Exciting News! I’m honored to join the CCS Trainee Editorial Board for the entire collection of CCS journals! Excited to work alongside peers to advance CJC Journals/CCS mission and strengthen heart health through research, evidence-based practice, and collaboration.❤️📚

Getting your real-time heart rhythm monitored for 10 days now requires an ECG technician to review and notify your doctor of a critical arrhythmia. A new study showed A.I. did better than technicians (98.6% vs 80.3%) for identifying these abnormalities nature.com/articles/s4159…

🚨Our double header on genetics of hypertrophic #cardiomyopathy out today in Nature Genetics 🧬 📍GWAS: nature.com/articles/s4158… 📍Polygenic scores: nature.com/articles/s4158… A huge consortia effort with James Ware Hugh Watkins Connie Bezzina Rafik Tadros & Anuj Goel

Online now! Review discussing the basics of noncoding variant-mediated pathogenesis, the methodologies utilized, and how #iPSC -based heart models can be leveraged to dissect the mechanisms of #noncodingvariants ow.ly/wqcH50VlLGC UBC Cellular & Physiological Sciences BC Children's Hospital Research Institute UBC School of Biomedical Engineering ISSCR

Stem cell therapy for Parkinson’s disease has entered a new era. Two nature studies demonstrate that pluripotent stem cell–derived dopamine neurons can survive, restore function, and potentially change the treatment paradigm for this neurodegenerative disease.

The UBC MD/PhD program had a fantastic time at the CSCI-CITAC Annual Joint Meeting in Toronto the past month🤩 Huge congratulations to Saif Dababneh on his 1st place oral presentation award and Erica Qureshi on her poster presentation award. Thank you Students of U of T's MD–PhD Program CITAC

Detecting ARVC from ECG? A Canadian-led deep learning model shows high accuracy, paving the way for earlier diagnosis: sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Excited to share #AlphaGenome, a start of our AlphaGenome named journey to decipher the regulatory genome! The model matches or exceeds top-performing external models on 24 out of 26 variant evaluations, across a wide range of biological modalities.1/6

🚨🇨🇦 Thomas Müller to Vancouver Whitecaps, here we go! Deal done for German legend to join MLS side. Two year deal in place for Müller who won’t retire and starts new chapter in MLS as he wanted. Deal agreed as @TomBogert and BILD reported, Müller said yes today.

🚨 New Circulation #ESC2025 #SimPub alert! 🚨 HCM isn’t just driven by rare Mendelian mutations. This study highlights the role of intermediate-effect variants (IEVs)—variants with moderate effect & low penetrance—in shaping disease expression. #HCM tinyurl.com/HCM-IEVs
