She joined Dr Chen’s lab in 2012 to study diabetic cardiomyopathy after earning a BS in Biological Science from Hu’nan Normal University of China. In the past few years, her work has been focused on investigating the pathogenesis of diabetic cardiomyopathy using genetic mouse models. Being a young investigator, Chao has experienced some ups and downs in the lab but remains determined to pursue a scientific career because of her desire to improve human health. In June 2019, Chao will begin a postdoctoral fellowship at Nanjing University. As a young mother, she looks forward to bringing up her lovely baby son together with her husband, who both give her a lot of happiness. Outside of the lab, she enjoys movies (her favorite movie is the Truman Show), delicious food, and spending time with her family. Her favorite book is Jane Eyre, and her favorite motto is, “Work hard, try my best!”Dysfunctional Brain-Gut Axis in Hypertension (p 727)Download figureDownload PowerPointDr Ravindra Sharma earned his PhD in Medical Physiology from the University of Delhi, India (mentor, Dr Krishnan Ravi), and then joined the Department of Physiology and Functional Genomics at University of Florida as a postdoctoral associate, under the mentorship of Prof Mohan Raizada. He is also the recipient of the New Investigator Award from the AHA Council on Hypertension. His research focuses on understanding the role of neuroinflammation and gut microbiota in hypertension. Investigating the role of gut microbiota in cardiovascular system is an emerging area of research. During his postdoctoral training, he discovered that microglia-mediated neuroinflammation in autonomic brain area causes sympathetic activation, which eventually contributes to pulmonary hypertension. He plans to pursue a career in academic research and continue to elucidate mechanisms of brain-gut interaction in cardio-pulmonary diseases. In his spare time, he likes listening to music, travelling, and playing with his daughter, all while waiting for the arrival of a new family member. His favorite books are Srimad Bhagwatam and Frankenstein, and his favorite movies are Baahubali 2 and Titanic. His favorite mottos are, “Live and let live,” and “Keep calm and carry on.”PP2A Regulates Nav1.5 (p 737)Download figureDownload PowerPointDr Mona El Refaey earned her BS from Cairo University in Egypt. She received her PhD in Molecular and Regenerative Medicine from Augusta University under the mentorship of Dr Carlos Isales. During her graduate training, she studied the impact of aging on the major signaling pathways and environment of mesenchymal stem cells. She is currently a postdoctoral researcher in Dr Peter Mohler’s laboratory at the Dorothy M. Davis Lung and Research Institute at The Ohio State University. She is focusing on the molecular mechanisms underlying cardiac diseases and use of recent technologies in understanding and treating genetic and acquired heart diseases. Her favorite motto is, “Work smart and never give up!” Outside of work, Dr El Refaey enjoys reading the Harry Potter books with her son, cooking, and traveling with her family. Her favorite movies include the Harry Potter movies and The Lord of the Rings. Her dream is to translate science from benchtop to bedside.PP2A Regulates Nav1.5 (p 737)Download figureDownload PowerPointDr Hassan Musa received his BS in Molecular Biology and Biochemistry from the University of Colorado in 1992. This was followed by a PhD in Pharmacology (mentor, Dr Richard Veenstra) from SUNY Upstate Medical University in 2001. Before pursuing his PhD, he spent 10 years working for a biopharmaceutical company. He pursued further postdoctoral training at SUNY Upstate Medical Center under the guidance of Dr Mario Delmar and Dr Jose Jalife. Currently, Dr Musa is a Research Scientist working with Dr Peter Mohler at the Frick Center for Heart Failure and Arrhythmia. Hassan has loved science since he was a child and is particularly interested in cardiac arrhythmias and heart disease. He hopes to teach at a university in the future. His favorite book is Where the Red Fern Grows, and his favorite movie is Rocky. His favorite mottos are, “The level of our success is limited only by our imagination,” and “No act of kindness, however small, is ever wasted.” –Aesop.Human Papillomavirus and Cardiovascular Disease (p 747)Download figureDownload PowerPointDr Eun-Jeong Joo is an assistant professor in the Division of Infectious Diseases at Kangbuk Samsung Hospital and earned her MD and PhD from Sungkyunkwan School of Medicine (mentor, Dr Jae-Hoon Song). As a clinician and researcher, she works in the area of antimicrobial resistance and viral infections. Dr Joo is passionate about her specialty. Chronic persistent viral infections such as human immunodeficiency virus, hepatitis B virus, and human papillomavirus are global health problems, and many of the cases show a strong association with development of metabolic diseases. Collaboration with the Kangbuk Samsung Cohort team and various other experts has enabled her research in the potential relationship between viral infection and metabolic diseases and their mutual relationship to both host and virus. She believes that a better understanding of the interaction between viruses and host may well provide new insights into potential targets of viral treatment and improve disease management. This idea is the driving force behind her research. Her doctoral advisor, Dr Jae-Hoon Song, has been a mentor and role model to her, not only because his is a brilliant and renowned scientist, but because he also always believes the best of others. Dr Joo enjoys running and exercising. She’s currently reading Becoming by Michelle Obama. “Keep going,” is her favorite motto because, “Life is a journey sometimes walked in light and sometimes in shadow.”Air Pollution and Plaque Vulnerability (p e30)Download figureDownload PowerPointHongbing Xu is a doctoral candidate in the Department of Occupational and Environmental Health, Peking University School of Public Health (mentor, Dr Wei Huang), where he is expecting to graduate in 2019.
