Big news! Our article “Precision Cardiovascular Medicine: Shifting the Innovation Paradigm” is a lead feature in Frontiers in Science, the flagship Frontiers journal, showcasing how systems bio&AI are tackling disease heterogeneity and redefining CV care. tinyurl.com/4pb2tp5h
Congratulations to CICS team @AikawaElena and @MarkCBlaser for their contributions to the THUMPIN’ initiative to develop living, bioengineered heart tissues for children
Thrilled to share that our team is part of THUMPIN’, a $29.6M @ARPA_H program to bioengineer living cardiac tissues that grow with infants with congenital heart disease!
Championed by @Kkitparker, our heart valve arm is led by @AikawaElena.

Our lead article in Frontiers in Science shows how AI, omics, and RNA therapies could make “untreatable” heart conditions treatable. Personalized medicine is coming—but global collaboration is key! tinyurl.com/3cxw36th
As Chief Editor for Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, our director @aikawa_masanori has a unique perspective to share during this important session!
Publish or Perish? Join tomorrow's #VB2025 lunch roundtable featuring our director @aikawa_masanori to hear varying perspectives on how to navigate the current publication landscape. See you tomorrow at 12:30 in the Cape Cod room!
Great discussions this afternoon at the Publish or Perish lunch roundtable featuring our Director @aikawa_masanori #VB2025
Representing Center Director @aikawa_masanori is his fellow @srvsh_c and his exciting work at the intersection of immunology and cardiovascular medicine! Make sure to stop by today! #VB2025
Excited to share our research looking into macrophage heterogeneity regulated by viral proteins that leads to accelerated cardiovascular diseases ! Please stop by for what should be an exciting session!#vascularbiology #macrophage #HIV
