February 25, 2025/in News

In a recent episode, Dr. Zamaneh Kassiri interviews our lab members and collaborators (Dr. Oliver H. Wearing, Dr. Naomi C. Chesler, Dr. Mitchel J. Colebank, Dr. Timothy A. Hacker, Dr. John N. Lorenz, and Dr. Christopher R. West), about their Guidelines in Cardiovascular Research article on ventricular pressure-volume (PV) measurements in mice. They discuss why PV is the gold standard for assessing cardiac function and how it complements echocardiography. Tune in to learn more about this essential method for cardiovascular research!

Research Manuscript Accepted for Publication in CHEST Journal

February 20, 2025/in News

We are pleased to announce that the manuscript “Characteristic Pulmonary Impedance with Exercise Detects Abnormal Pulmonary Vascular Response and Uncoupling in PH-HFpEF” has been accepted for publication in CHEST. This collaborative work, led by Christopher G. Lechuga (UCI), Farhan Raza (University of Wisconsin-Madison), Mitchel J. Colebank (UCI), Claudia E. Korcarz (University of Wisconsin-Madison), and Aimee T. Broman, advances our understanding of pulmonary hypertension in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (PH-HFpEF).

Congratulations to the team on this outstanding achievement!

Congratulations to Mitchel for Receiving an NIH TL-1 Fellowship Award!

October 4, 2021/in News

The fellowship was awarded by the UCI Institute for Clinical and Translational Science (ICTS), and focuses on combining in-silico computational modeling with in-vitro and in-vivo experiments to elucidate the role of NO and ET-1 signaling pathways in the progressive remodeling of the pulmonary vasculature in pulmonary hypertension.
