The Kirk lab is moving! In March of 2026, we're excited to join @UChicagoCardio, @UChicagoMed, and @UChicago. I'll be helping to build a robust translational cardiovascular research center - look out for more news in the coming months.

Wore a jacket and tie to my first VC investor pitch. I was clearly over dressed.

Guys, the King of Spain, @CasaReal, spoke at the #ESCCongress meeting in Madrid. We gotta step up our game in the US. @BarackObama, are you up for @American_Heart meeting?

Last week, Dr. Christine Delligatti and Hana Pak ended their time in the lab, moving on to the next steps in their careers. They are both going to do amazing things, and we were very lucky to have them as part of the lab.

After four years in the lab as a Masters student and then Lab Manager, it is Ahmed Zied's last day at @LoyolaChicago. He goes off to start his next adventure as an MD/PhD student at @YaleMed. We'll miss him, but are excited to see what he achieves next!

Congratulations to Dr. Christine Delligatti on her successful PhD Dissertation defense yesterday! I know she'll accomplish great things during her postdoc @JohnsHopkins, but we'll miss having her in the lab!

It's only a dire wolf if it comes from the early holocene epoch. Otherwise it's just sparkling gray wolf.

The @LoyolaChicago announcement that we obtained R1 status (the highest research university classification) used a picture from my lab. You can tell it's from my lab because the microscope is named after a Star Wars character.
