Congratulations LHI Director Lin Yee Chen @LinYeeChen3, named Distinguished McKnight University Professor for his pioneering research in Atrial Myopathy. z.umn.edu/chen-mcknight #Cardiosky #UMNresearch

Better together! 🇧🇷🤝🇺🇸

Huge congrats to Dr. Jop van Berlo (@UMNews) and Dr. Sylvia Guatimosim (UFMG) on receiving the @American_Heart International Visiting Professor Award. They’re combining forces to tackle the complexities of cardiac remodeling and molecular cardiology.
