Rödel is a molecular biologist interested in cardiovascular development and disease. She earned her undergraduate degree in Biology from the Georg-August University of Göttingen, as well as her PhD. As a graduate student, she investigated the evolution of post-transcriptional control during early Drosophila development in the lab of Michalis Averof (mentor). In the lab of Dimitris Beis at the Biomedical Research Foundation Academy of Athens, she discovered the beauty of the zebrafish vertebrate model, and switched to the field of cardiovascular research. She then joined the lab of Salim Seyfried at the University of Potsdam, where she began her work on cerebral cavernous malformation (CCM), an enigmatic disease with vascular anomalies that affect almost exclusively the cerebral vasculature. Combining zebrafish genetics and cell biology, Claudia and her colleagues were able to address the impact of biomechanical stimuli that affect CCM angiogenesis, revealing that blood flow takes on a protective role in CCM. For her, the zebrafish system will continue to provide essential and versatile tools in the quest for a better understanding of the complex mechanisms that contribute to this rare but devastating disease. Outside the lab, the science never stops but she also enjoys spending time with her family and friends.Vasoconstriction During Mental Stress and Outcomes (p 874)Download figureDownload PowerPointDr Jeong Hwan Kim is a cardiology fellow at Emory University School of Medicine. He earned his BA in Biology and Economics from Swarthmore College, and he obtained his MD from the University of Chicago Pritzker School of Medicine in 2014. He subsequently completed his internal medicine residency at Emory University, where he stayed for his cardiology fellowship under the mentorship of Dr Arshed Quyyumi. Dr Kim is interested in studying the mechanisms by which psychological stress affects patients with cardiovascular disease. He also has interests in biomarkers, vascular biology, risk prediction, and social determinants of cardiovascular disease, and plans to pursue a career as a clinical investigator in cardiology.

She earned her BS in Biochemistry from Lyman Briggs College at Michigan State University, where her coursework and exposure to translational research led her to pursue graduate studies in biomedical sciences. Aditi’s thesis project in Dr McNamara’s lab focuses on B-1 cell-mediated protection against atherosclerosis. In the future, she plans to continue pursuing research on immune mechanisms present in chronic inflammation and opportunities to translate scientific discoveries to human health and disease. Outside of the laboratory, Aditi enjoys staying active through yoga, running, and hiking, and trying new baking recipes to make up for it.
