Come hear about the benefits of formal grant writing classes as part of the grad curriculum. @EmoryUniversity leads the country in NIH F31 dollars secured by our amazing students (e.g., @EmoryBCDB @emorygmb @neurophd_emory @EmoryChem @EmoryMMG) What are we doing? @ASCBiology

Excited to share our work on the mitochondrial citrate carrier, a new regulator of #CHD and metabolic reprogramming in the developing #heart. Congrats to Chiemela Ohanele, @JPeoples88, @nasabgee and our amazing collaborators @AnjaKarlstaedt @FaundezLab! #mitochondria
The mitochondrial citrate carrier SLC25A1 mediates key metabolic transitions during cardiac morphogenesis through epigenetic regulation of histone acetylation, ultimately supporting structural maturation of the embryonic heart. @KwongLab nature.com/articles/s42003-0…
