Earlier today, we proudly joined the Rally for Science in Sacramento in support of the bond act SB 895 to protect vital research in California (even if federal funding is cut) and are very grateful to stand with a community committed to science and public health. @SaveScienceCA

The 6th Annual Biophysics Colloquium is just around the corner! Join us Monday, April 27th at the Genome and Biomedical Sciences Facility Auditorium. See the full schedule below 👇

We had the pleasure of hosting prospective students for our '26–27 Biophysics cohort this week! It was wonderful meeting such thoughtful, driven, and curious scientists. Safe travels, and we hope to see you back soon! 🧬

Back from #bps2026, as always a fantastic meeting for great science and the pleasure of reconnecting with friends and colleagues. Kudos to @Fazeelat_Mazhar and @Forouzandehmehr for brilliantly representing the lab with their outstanding poster presentations!

Looking forward to hosting @JMPioner's "Frontiers in Pharmacology" seminar next week! @UCDAVISPharmac1

New paper out! Thank you @emilia_entcheva for involving us in this exciting project!

Such a great weekend at the CSU Biotechnology Symposium @ Sac State! 🧪 Loved meeting so many undergrads and hearing about their interests—thanks for having us!

We are accepting applications to the 2026 Early Career Short Talk Competition. Early faculty (up to Assistant Professor) and post-docs are encouraged to apply!! For more information visit: cardiac-muscle-society.org/Our-programs

📣 CALL FOR PAPERS!📣

We had such a wonderful time at the Biophysics Graduate Group Fall Lunch Social! 🍂🍃🐮 Thank you to everyone who came out to enjoy the food, sunshine, and great company, and to our amazing coordinator Alyssa for making it all happen! #UCDavisBiophysics #FallSocial

New paper out! We developed sex-specific atrial myocyte models that reveal that female AFib patients might be more prone to delayed afterdepolarizations, and males more vulnerable to alternans, with distinct mechanisms and drug responses: doi.org/10.1113/JP2894…

Please, help us reach the next generation of biophysicists!!!

United in discovery, stronger together!!! Great science happens when we gather to learn, support each other, & celebrate the power of collaboration & community at our Departmental Annual Retreat! Shout out to organizers Deborah, Elva, Nate, Hai, Matthew, Christina & Charlotte!

Happy to share my first contribution to @JPrecisionMed! Read my editorial on precision cardiac electrophysiology here: jprecisionmedicine.org/article/S3050-…

Congrats, @khorasani2822! Well deserved!

New paper out! We developed a model of fibroblast signaling that reveals how Ca²⁺-dependent pathways regulate profibrotic markers in response to atrial fibrillation-relevant stimuli

About last week.. Feeling very grateful for a fantastic time at the ISHR World Congress and the chance to experience the beauty of Japan. #ISHR2025

Thrilled to join the Editorial Board of the @JPrecisionMed, a new journal from @physoc. If your research explores the intersection of physiology and personalized healthcare, I highly encourage you to submit your work here!

In these tumultuous weeks, we had a fantastic time sharing science, fears, and hopes with friends and colleagues at the UC Davis CardioVascular Symposium, the @MuscleCardiac and the @BiophysicalSoc Meetings, and the @GordonConf on Cardiac Arrhythmias. #StandUpForScience

Fantastic representation of our graduate group at the @BiophysicalSoc meeting in LA this week! Great science, discussions, and connections at #BPS2025! @ucd_physiology @PTXatUCD @bps_students @UCDavisHealth @UCDavisGrad
