Thrilled to share that I’ve been awarded an AHA Postdoctoral Fellowship! So grateful for the support and honored to have the opportunity to advance my research in precision nutrition for CVD prevention. Huge thanks to my mentor @shoaclarke.bsky.social and collaborators for their guidance! 🫀🧬

Gave some quotes to the @nytimes.com in this piece covering saturated fat in some anticipation of potential rollbacks on these regulations from the Kennedy HHS/Rollins USDA Dietary Guidelines. It's a meaty topic but Dr Callahan covered it well for the general public!

Super excited to witness this project coming to fruition! I was part of the initial pilot project that recruited ~60 participants. I can imagine the amount of work to recruit over 500 participants during the COVID years! Super impressed that @abarad.bsky.social and Kimberly got it done!

Most hearts have right dominant coronary anatomy but some have left. Why? Is it random? When/how is dominance established? Now out in @cellpress.bsky.social, the 1st GWAS of coronary dominance + experiments implicating CXCL12 as a driver of human coronary patterning! www.cell.com/cell/fulltex...

Visual abstract illustrating coronary artery dominance, phenotyping using angiograms, GWAS, and downstream studies of human and mouse hearts.

Excited to share findings from my PhD work published in AJCN! As Dr. Hennigar noted in his editorial—“Findings from this study reframe how we think about dietary Fe requirements and build evidence for more precise Fe intake and supplementation guidelines”. Links below!👇 @nutritionorg.bsky.social

#nutrition nerds 🤓 ‼️ The scientific report of the Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee is live (this is the scientific report used to craft the Dietary Guidelines for Americans) Big focus this edition on chronic disease & life-stage specific recs, with a health equity lens DietaryGuidelines.gov
