2025 has been an intense and in part rough year. Time to let body and soul heal and recover. Found a wonderful place overlooking Costa Adeje on the lovely island Tenerife (www.oceanviewmontesol.com). Spectacular view – plenty activities – great new ideas - feels like rejuvenation - check it out!
Exciting new work for the Angiopoietin aficionado: Angiopoietin dysregulation as early hallmark of amyloid- driven vascular dysfunction in Alzheimer's disease. Must read work from the Wysscoray and Keller laboratories published on @biorxivpreprint.bsky.social.
Still time to apply to the 2 open 6-year Junior Group Leader positions at the European Center for Angioscience (ECAS) at Heidelberg University. Application deadline is September, 10, 2025.
Another hyped study published in Nature Medicine claiming to have developed a predictive test for the identification of women at risk of developing preeclampsia. Sobering: The predictive value is no better than the cheap routine measurement of sICAM-1 and sVCAM-1 reported more than 20 years ago.
Congratulations to Mahak Singhal @uniheidelberg.bsky.social on being awarded an @erc.europa.eu Starting Grant for his project "Vascular-Rhythm" focussing on "DeClocking the vascular rhythmic control of tissue homeostasis and disease initiation". Pioneering a new branch of vascular research!
Three new @erc.europa.eu Starting Grants for vascular researchers: Congratulations to Vanessa Coelho-Santos (@vcoelhosantoslab.bsky.social) for "AngioArchitects“ (LS5], Leire Bejarano for "MetaVasc" (LS4], and Mahak Singhal for "Vascular Rhythm" (LS4). Great success!
Interested in pursuing a postdoc in the Augustin lab at the German Cancer Research Center in Heidelberg (www.augustinlab.de)? Working at the interface of angioscience and metastasis. Apply to the DKFZ postdoctoral fellowship program (www.dkfz.de/en/karriere/...). Deadline: Sept. 15, 2025.
Spread the word: The European Center for Angioscience @uniheidelberg.bsky.social continues to grow: We have openings for 2 additional Junior Group Leader positions. Get in touch with us if you are ready to start your own lab. See also corresponding ad in @nature.com: www.nature.com/naturecareer...
Following our epigenetic placental vasculature paper in Dev Cell (www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...), the second chapter of our vascular epigenetic trilogy was now published in @narjournal.bsky.social (academic.oup.com/nar/article/...): DNMT3A regulation of EC enhancer landscape. More to come!
