Our Spatial Transcriptomics study of human #aortic full thickness punches shows smooth muscle cell clusters in early atherosclerotic #plaque, and an iron-driven macrophage-like cell state that can be targeted to prevent progression @10xGenomics @TheFooLab

Vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) contribute dynamically to atherosclerosis at all stages but the molecular drivers of their phenotypic switching, especially during early plaque development, and...

Organs don't work in silos !! It's time to track outcomes across the disease specialities, when they are so much metabolism driven today @NUSMedicine

A lab becomes super exciting when it gets made up of super bright young people (not referring to me), so somewhat shamelessly doing a shout out here for their incredible effort. Started by crowdsourcing, an iPS cell bank here now in Asia. "We are open for business" @NUSMedicine

Our Med School is on a hunt for top scientists to join us. At least 4 Presidential Young Professorship applications have been submitted in just the past few weeks. Amazing opportunity to join @NUSMedicine

2/ the KaiLuan Cohort (>100,000) is a visionary stroke of genius, enrolled since 2006, from among employees of the KaiLuan corp group. The health system and screening is impressive. RESET there kicks off with sponsorship from Prof Yu Ying and his team at TianJin Medical College

1/ Project RESET is on a mission in Singapore to find solutions for heart disease prevention. We spent last week visiting the team at Tang Shan, China, and witnessed the launch of a parallel RESET to be embedded in their Kai Luan Cohort. @NUSMedicine

None of this team entered science to make a high salary. Several could well have a luxury life doing something else. So each time we get a chance to let the hair down and put fun into our science and team building, we make the best of it. A lab retreat to remember @TheFooLab

Thrilled to have hosted @IntMedAbel Dr Abel..a giant in cardiovascular research. Grad students had a great time drinking in the wisdom. So grateful that we can invite luminaries to our "far away" island. "Bringing the science to our doorstep" @CvdNus @NUSMedicine @TheFooLab

Quite remarkable that the management of this fatal condition was pioneered by Professor Daowen Wang, from Wuhan which unsurprisingly houses one of the highest ranked medical systems in China @NUSMedicine @CvdNus @TheFooLab

Big moment here. First Singaporean recruited to a CRISPR gene editing trial..happening downstairs in clinic. ...this one for amyloidosis. If this packet is a study drug, this is the first singaporean to be gene edited !!! Feels like moon-landing here in #Singapore @NUSResearch

Grateful for the plug for RESET. We are still on a drive to enrol participants..... free scans and tests, and a 5yr long follow up with the medical team... on a look out for causes and drivers of early heart and metabolic disease @CvdNus @TheFooLab

Episode 3 of CBmE&U is out! Professor Roger Foo at @NUSMedicine answers questions from @juliansavulescu and @sinead_prince about Project RESET, personalized medicine, and whether we have free will. Listen online: https://t.co/l8pf1k5yNK

Our campus uses the NCSP award (NUHS Clinician Scientist Programme) to pump-prime young clinicians on their early career journey towards academia. So exciting to see the faces come through round on round @NUSMedicine @NUSResearch
