In the last session of the day Dr Kazuhide Shaun Okuda @Kazebrafish shared his latest work (along with some beautiful images!) on the effects of radiation on vascular development and regeneration in both lymphatic and blood vessels at #ASVBM. @SABE_latrobe @LIMSLTU 5/5

Huge congrats to Dr Amy Baxter, recipient of the prestigious AVBS Achievement & Career Development Award! 🏆 Her talk revealed how endothelial cell death fuels cardiovascular disease and how new strategies may help clear dying cells to slow or reverse progression. #AVBSM2025 4/5

Day 2 of #ASVBM kicked off with Dr Maria Jelinic @MarijaJelinic diving into the history of athero & her vision for new therapies. From imaging mass spectrometry & spatial transcriptomics, Dr Jelinic is finding new targets for stressed cells in #athero. @LIMSLTU @SABE_latrobe 3/5

What’s better than having a stunning view? Having a stunning view at a vascular conference, of course! 🏔️Thrilled to have @LIMSLTU researchers sharing the spotlight at the #ASVBM conference in the amazing Queenstown! @SABE_latrobe @latrobe 1/5

Congratulations to A/Prof Steve Petrovski on receiving the Distinguished Service Award from the Australian Society for Microbiology (ASM)! This prestigious honour recognises Steve’s outstanding service and leadership in strengthening the ASM community and advancing microbiological science. #Microbiology #LaTrobeResearch #STEM @LIMSLTU @latrobe @LTUresearchers @PetrovskiLab @MAPP_latrobe

@MarijaJelinic @JakeNicholasRo1 @CAD_Frontiers @worldheartfed @heartfoundation @latrobe @MAPP_latrobe @SABE_latrobe @qndinh @LIMSLTU @blink_e So that’s just some of the research we do here at our multidisciplinary research centre! But today, we are joining together for a Healthy Heart Walk, and together, choosing healthier lifestyle choice & luckily surrounded by @latrobe’s beautiful scenery! 🍂🍃#HeartWeek2025

@MarijaJelinic @JakeNicholasRo1 @CAD_Frontiers @worldheartfed @heartfoundation @latrobe @MAPP_latrobe @SABE_latrobe @qndinh @LIMSLTU @blink_e Be sure to have your blood pressure checked with May Measurement Month or Australia’s Biggest Blood Pressure Check! #HeartWeek2025 #TheBigSqueeze Check out some resources here and consult your GP: maymeasure.org

This week is about #HeartWeek2025 - Australia’s national heart health awareness week 🫀and a chance for us to start the conversation on what can we do to build a healthier community. Have a look at what we’re doing at CCBDR to work towards a healthier Australia!

This month, we are spotlighting the @latrobe University Hypertension & Diabetes Research Division, a team driving innovation in hypertension & diabetes research. Learn more: tinyurl.com/244svxss #CardiovascularResearch #HealthInnovation #HypertensionAustralia

1/2🟢 Today is #WorldKidneyDay – a day to raise awareness about kidney health and the urgent need for better treatments. 🔬 Dr. @BrookeHuuskes and her team are tackling polycystic kidney disease (PKD), a condition with no cure, leading to kidney failure and the need for dialysis or transplant. Watch Dr. Huuskes share how their research is paving the way for life-changing treatments.👇 @LTUresearchers @MAPP_latrobe @LaTrobe_CVR @LaTrobe @LIMSLTU @PKDAustralia #WorldKidneyDay #KidneyHealthforAll #ShowYourKidneys #kidneydisease

Take a moment today to check the health of your kidneys (QR code from @worldkidneyday below ⬇️) and better understand your health! If you have any concerns about your kidney health, please make sure to visit your local GP. #WorldKidneyDay #AreYourKidneysOK

At the Centre, we not only focus on kidney disease but also on cardiovascular health and diabetes research—two factors that significantly impact kidney function. #WorldKidneyDay #AreYourKidneysOK  @worldkidneyday

Today, the Centre for Cardiovascular Disease & Biology Research proudly celebrates World Kidney Day! 🌍 #WorldKidneyDay #AreYourKidneysOK  @worldkidneyday @LIMSLTU @SABE_latrobe
