@shailajaseethar from @squishycell1 lab presented her work on the role of shear stress in atherosclerosis, and how FHL2 activation mediates this response. Overexpression of FHL2 leads to an atherosclerotic phenotype, and knockdown of FHL2 can be athero-protective✊





Excited to help launch the National Institue for Theory and Mathematics in Biology, a joint Northwestern-UChicago venture funded with $50M from NSF/Simons . Please share to advertise our upcoming postdoctoral fellowship! new.nsf.gov/news/new-50-mi…
