🌱Latest paper from me: #LRP1 is a giant promiscuous protein implicated in #vascular diseases, including #atherosclerosis, #SCAD, and #Alzheimer's disease. 🫀We looked at LRP1 expression in the CV system (bulk and scRNA Seq) and found it to be highly nuanced! journals.physiology.org/doi/full/10....

Graphical abstract - LRP1 expression was examined the the heart and blood vessels, between sexes and between different ages. Expression varied depending on these features

Had a great time catching up with @victorchang.edu.au alums this weekend in Oxford - got to check out the Oxford Museum of Natural History, highly recommend!

After quitting Twitter and going into social media eXile (see what I did there?) I'm keen to get back into Academic socials. If you know people in the #vascular, #atherosclerosis, #SCAD, #ECM, #sex_difference, #proteomics, or #iPSC space I would love some recommendations please!!

Had an amazing time in Rio last week for the WC on Alternatives and Animal Use in Life Science!! Learnt so much about minimizing variability in our research. A big thank you to @MAWA for funding my attendance to speak about our @victorchang.edu.au work on animal-free #iPSC #VSMC differentiation
