Big congrats to Chris Schafer who was just awarded a 2-year AHA Postdoc Fellowship for his fascinating project studying hyaloid regression in the neonatal murine eye. We’re proud of you, Chris!

Griffin lab manuscript award

Congratulations to Sarah Colijn for winning the “Outstanding Paper Prize of 2020” from Disease Models & Mechanisms! We are so proud of Sarah’s rigorous research into cell-specific roles for RIPK3 in atherosclerosis progression.

Congrats to new Ph.D. candidates

The lab extends its sincere congratulations to Bridget and Rahul, who both successfully passed their qualifying exams last week and advanced to Ph.D. candidacy in OUHSC’s Department of Cell Biology. Courtney also thanks the lab’s postdocs for helping the students prepare so effectively.

New manuscript on pro-angiogenic roles for RIPK3

The lab is proud of Siqi’s new manuscript published in Angiogenesis that describes novel pro-angiogenic roles for RIPK3. This study adds to our lab’s growing evidence that RIPK3 can play beneficial roles in endothelial cells, in addition to detrimental ones when it is overexpressed.

Successful Vascular Biology 2020

The Griffin Lab thoroughly enjoyed NAVBO’s online Vascular Biology 2020 meeting, despite the ice storm that hit OKC early in the meeting and compromised power/internet for many of us. Congrats to Matt and Charmain for their oral presentations selected from abstract submissions and to Melinda (circled below) for winning an Outstanding Poster Award from the […]

Many congrats, Siqi, for a […]
