July 2020 Newsletter (pdf) 

Thus far, despite the COVID-19 setback, 2020 has been a successful year with our new faculty recruits getting laboratories up and running, new grants awarded and clinical faculty working via telehealth or Zoom meetings. In this issue, we spotlight two very different outstanding researchers who are long-term members of the HHDC research base. Ashley Weedn, M.D. is a dedicated Pediatrician focusing on interventions and treatment for childhood obesity and Hui-Ying Lim, Ph.D. uses the power of drosophila (flies) genetics to uncover novel pathways for signals released from the heart with different diets and their role in disease.
