A UAB assistant professor is leading two studies to determine whether atherosclerosis can be prevented before it leads to diseases like heart disease.

UAB’s new Lunaphore COMET multiplex immunofluorescent platform can hyperplex up to 40 antibodies on a single pathology tissue sample.

Use of high-speed video microscopy and artificial intelligence provides calculated statistics like diastolic and systolic diameters, fractional shortening, and ejection fraction.

Mechanistic findings in this study may pave the way for future time-restricted feeding studies in muscle, providing a natural and affordable form of alternative therapy for managing pathologies related to metabolism and obesity.

After years of researching the SON gene, Erin Eun-Young Ahn, Ph.D., may have found the cause behind an extremely rare disease.
