Finishing up an excellent two days at #CHC23 Hypertension Canada in Montreal. Always great to be back on home turf 🇨🇦 and one of my favourite conferences of the year. Looking forward to next year already!

Are you at #NABVO2023 NAVBO and interested on learning more about the Online Programming Committee #OPC ? Come find the #OPC members around the conference Sarvesh Chelvanambi Dr. Mabruka Alfaidi Sarah Colijn Nick Chavkin Terren Niethamer Rolando and myself! We are recruiting members for 2024!

CICS Team Spirit: It was a hot and stormy night but CICS members still made it out to bid farewell to Katie. We wish her all the best!

Blaser and Aikawa et al. Use a Multi-omics approach to understand the contribution of extracellular vesicles as modulators of human carotid atherosclerosis and calcific aortic valve stenosis #OriginalResearch #Circulation ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/CI…

Excited to have been part of this very cool and impactiful work lead by Mark Blaser, PhD at Brigham and Women’s CICS on tissue-entrapped EVs in calcific CV tissues using multi-omics and network analysis just published in Circulation. Check out the 🧵

CICS Celebrates: Today we said farewell to Neda, a visiting scholar in the Elena Aikawa group, who conducted her research amidst many powerful women in science and medicine. Congratulations Neda on your success! Brigham and Women’s Cardiovascular Life Science Brigham and Women's Hospital Brigham and Women’s Research

Lupieri Adrien, PhD from Elena Aikawa’s lab presents an interesting study in #VascularDiscovery23 showing the importance of incorporating sex differences in pre-clinical therapeutic models. Our studies should reflect the population being treated. Brigham and Women’s Cardiovascular Life Science AHAMeetings AHA Science

CICS is proud to have such an accomplished visiting scientist ! Neda Mohammadi from TRR259 is selected as a #Hotoffthepress oral abstract in #VascularDiscovery23 . An stunning talk about miRNA and endothelial biology coming up. AHA Science AHAMeetings

Day 2 at #VascularDiscovery23 . Mark Blaser, PhD killing it sharing his multi-omics analysis in BAV. Brigham and Women’s CICS Elena Aikawa

Day 1 at #VascularDiscovery23 in the books! It was a great time chatting #cavd #proteomics and #extracellularvesicle science! Always a blast sharing the work we do at Brigham and Women’s CICS

If you’re at #VascularDisvovery23 - stop by to chat with Mandy Turner to hear about the latest advances in this very cool project involving #extracellularvesicle #proteomics in relation to aortic valve calcification !!!

I‘m very grateful for getting the opportunity to present my research at HVS 2023 and receiving the best basic science poster award. This wouldn’t be possible without support of Cassandra L. Clift, PhD , Florian Sicklinger , Antonia van Kampen , leuleu, Elena Aikawa and many more. Brigham and Women’s CICS

Grateful to have been part of this important work spearheaded by the impressive Francesca Bartoli-Leonard 🌟. Proteomics characterization of PAD certainly helps us understand this heterogeneous disease. Brigham and Women’s CICS Elena Aikawa
