The Weinberg Lab

External funding for research in The Ohio State University College of Engineering is showing no signs of slowing down... $207.49M in FY24, another record high! 📈 engineering.osu.edu/news/2025/01/a…

Check out a very cool talk given at our Center today: youtu.be/3Jol76a-urM "Calcium homeostatic feedback control predicts atrial fibrillation initiation, remodeling, and progression" Work of @moise_nick and @SHWeinbergLab

NSF is awarding CyberCorps Scholarship for Service grants to 4 academic institutions with an investment of nearly $15M toward training the next generation of cybersecurity professionals. Congratulations to @WSU, @IowaStateU, @GeorgeMasonU and @OhioState. bit.ly/4gNM8Up

New study provides valuable insights into age-dependent changes in human cardiac gene expression & #electrophysiology, shedding light on molecular mechanisms underlying cardiac maturation and function throughout development. ow.ly/i0Cw50Uutly @NikkiPosnack @SHWeinbergLab

Hirway et al. developed a multicellular computation model to investigate tumor microenvironment remodeling and pre-metastatic niche formation. @OhioStateBME @OSUengineering @SHWeinbergLab link.springer.com/article/10.100…

Great thread from @moise_nick on his recent work modeling atrial fibrillation. "AF begets AF" - Nick developed a framework to model this progression from healthy to disease tissue, coupling the electrical activity and substrate remodeling, a complex multi-time scale problem!

which informed model predictions of key currents underlying the age-progression of action potential and calcium transient characteristics. There's a whole lot more to do, and I'm exciting to see where the project will go next.

We were fortunate to find the perfect collaborator in the Posnack lab at just the right time. Fast-forward to now, and this project has led to an invaluable analysis (and data set) of cardiac gene expression throughout development (> 100 patients, age 5 days to adulthood), ...

For my group, this project started years ago with the seemingly simple question of – how do we model cardiac electric activity in pediatric heart cells? Which led us to the even more fundamental question of – what do we even know about pediatric heart electric activity?

Really proud to share this latest work just published in @ajpheartcirc, led by Shatha Salameh, @DevonGuerrelli in the @NikkiPosnack lab and Jacob Miller in my lab. journals.physiology.org/doi/epdf/10.11…

@HSingh_OSU Congrats Harpreet!

Thank you all my mentors, students, colleagues, friends and family. From a tiny village Odhra in Punjab to the OSU, it has been quite a journey.

Congrats to Seth Weinberg for being named a Fellow of the @American_Heart Association for his research and contributions in the interdisciplinary field of computational physiology, with focus on cardiac electrophysiology and arrhythmias 🫀 More here: go.osu.edu/CrUP
