Ari and Ireh Present at 2024 BioX Symposium
The Stanford Bio-X Interdisciplinary Initiatives Seed Grants Program Symposium took place on August 29, 2024 from 1:15 PM to 5:30 PM at the Clark Center Auditorium and Courtyard at Stanford. Ari Arias and Ireh Kim, both 2024 BioX Summer Undergraduate Fellows, participated as poster presenters. Ari's poster was entitled "Disuse-Induced Alterations in Skeletal Muscle Innervation Pattern and Neuromuscular Junction Morphology" and covered his summer research work looking at the effects of umuscle unloading on neuromuscular junctions in a rodent model of disuse atrophy. Ireh's poster "Inhibition of the Gerozyme 15-PGDH Rescues Skeletal Muscle Hypertrophy in Response to Overload in Aged Mice" covered her studies aimed at understanding how boosting expression of PGE2 can improve muscle hypertrophy in aged rodents. The event also featured talks from BioX Seed Grant Awardees.
