Foster Lab Awarded Grant from the American Heart Association

A few weeks ago we were thrilled to learn that the AHA has chosen to fund our work on altered retinoic acid homeostasis in heart failure progression with a Transformational Project Award. I wish to extend my thanks to the AHA, past and present members of the research team (Ni, Lauren & Kyriakos), as well […]

Foster Lab 2016 Year-in-Review Part II: The Paper

In September 2016 we published the big one. I am referring to our paper: Integrated Omic Analysis of a Guinea Pig Model of Heart Failure and Sudden Cardiac Death. J Proteome Res. 2016 Sep 2;15(9):3009-28. doi: 10.1021/acs.jproteome.6b00149. PMID: 27399916 in which we examined the transcriptome, proteome and metabolome of heart failure progression in a modified […]
