Our review in Circ. Res., on mitochondrial drugs and cardiac ischemia, is now out.

Its official, I am “over the hill” (40 this month). Status as a junior investigator is long gone. But hey – that means only another 25 years (5-6 grant renewal cycles) until retirement!

We recently welcomed a couple of new faces to the lab’: Charles (Owen) Smith is a new graduate student in the Biochemistry program, working on mitochondrial K+ channels. Boris Boruvcanin is with us for 2 months under the URMC Summer Scholar’s program, studying mitochondrial protein acetylation and metabolism.

Congratulations to Emily Redman (our undergrad’ research assistant for the past 4 years) on winning the Janet Howell Clark Memorial Award.  Emily graduated last week with a double major in Chemistry and Biology, and will be starting Medical School here in the fall.
