Major paper I've been working on is out today! We found genetics has a strong influence on skeletal response to immobilization. This is the first evidence showing changes in bone volume, quality and gene expression from immobilization are heritable.

There are two weeks left to apply for the 2025 THRIVE Cohort! This program delivers individualized mentorship and high-quality professional development to underrepresented early-career scientists and clinicians.
Apply here by November 1st: ow.ly/qgMG50TM5rA

The 2024 THRIVE Cohort, accompanied by PI Dr. Rhonda Prisby and DEIA Chair @HolguinLab, participated in the @NIDDKgov NMRI Workshop last week! It was an enriching experience with insightful research and dynamic sessions. Anticipating more opportunities and growth next year!
Check out or new paper examining how genetic variation affects skeletal muscles exposed to simulated microgravity: nature.com/articles/s41526-0…
We found that genetics caused some mice to be protected from muscle loss. Transcriptomic response also varied based on genetic background.
First time moderating a session!! It was an enthusiastic passionate group of osteocyte researchers. #ASBMR2023

@BMESociety make sure to stop by booth #661 to learn about all the exciting things going on @VCU_BME!
Your future is so bright @VCUENGR you will need cool color changing shades!! #swag #VCUatBMES #BMES2023

I had a great time meeting so many people at the @LatinXinBME symposium! After 20 years in BME, I finally found a community that looks like the people at home 🥰. Thank you to the organizers!! #BMES2023 #VCUatBMES

Corinne from the @priscilla_hwang lab is ready for the @BMESSociety conference in Seattle next week!✨ Follow #VCUatBMES starting October 11 to see what we’re up to! #bmes #VCUEngineers #RamEngineers #UnrivaledEngineering
I asked ChatGPT to respond like Donald Trump to help me understand what my RNAseq results mean. ... it's tremendous!
I posted a job opening for a undergrad research assistant in our lab, and more people applied than we can hire 😳. What are some good interview questions I should ask?
Our latest paper examining how genetics affects the response to hindlimb unloading is out now in @JOrthopRes! We found bone loss from hindlimb unloading varied by mouse strain in the founder strains of the Diversity Outbred mouse population.

We have future manuscripts examining how skeletal muscle was affected in these mice and another manuscript analyzing the transcriptomic (RNAseq) response to unloading in the C57BL/6J mice used here.
This is an amazing opportunity to work with an outstanding PI and lab! As a former postdoc in the same department, I am happy to talk about postdoc life at VCU BME if anyone wants more information.
📣Spread the Word!!! We have an open Postdoc position in Mechanobiology of #Collagen Fiber Formation for tendon and ligament repair.
