Congratulations to Casey Romanoski and Darren Cusanovich, who have been awarded a Multi-PI NIH grant. This collaboration brings together Dr. Romanoski’s research on DNA variation, gene regulation, inflammation, and endothelial cell function with Dr. Cusanovich’s expertise in genetic and environmental regulation of gene expression, single-cell genomics, and complex disease. Together, their complementary approaches will investigate how genetic variation influences endothelial biology and contributes to vascular disease risk. We are pleased to recognize Drs. Romanoski and Cusanovich for this research collaboration and accomplishment. Sakthivel Sadayappan, PhD, MBA, FAHA, FISHR University of Arizona University of Arizona College of Medicine – Tucson
