Behold! GFP expressed by the Cntn2 promoter (Glenn Fishman's mouse model)

New this year, researchers from 9 Midwest states attended. It was a fantastic day of science. Check out the MCRS tab for details!

First PhD student from the Barefield Lab Congrats Dr. Araujo!

Hannah won one of the undergraduate poster abstract awards and Alejandro received a travel grant.

Hannah's paper on contractile function in AFib is out now in the American Journal of Physiology-Heart & Circulatory Physiology

Hope got her MS, and is the first grad student out of the Barefield Lab. Now she's off to Loyola's MD/PhD program!

Generously hosted by Northwestern's Center for Genetic Medicine. Check out the CRCRS tab for details!

First out of state conference for Hannah, Biophysical Society Meeting in San Diego.

Pictured on the cover, MyBP-HL and Cntn2 fluorescence image of a whole mouse heart imaged with a lightsheet microscope.

Kelly presented immediately after a particularly terse debate over the prior talk. She did a great job presenting her science and mellowing the room.

Alex presenting a 5-min talk after winning for poster presentation in 2022 Myofilament Meeting, Madison, Wisconsin

Lucas and Alex presenting their poster: Premature stop mutations in Mybphl share a common pathomechanism of preventing protein incorporation into the cardiac myofilament

Kelly presenting her poster about Myosin binding protein H-like competes with cardiac myosin protein-c to prolong atrial contraction

Nothing fancy, just some myofilament fractions.

The new lab has settled nicely into the "perpetual box fort" stage.
