Norris Lab Cardiac Team Takes on Portland's American Society for Investigative Pathology Conference

Three of our bright cardiac researchers and students recently traveled to Portland, Oregon, for the 2025 American Society for Investigative Pathology Conference, where they presented their genetic research on various cardiovascular conditions.

We believe research should be both accessible and impactful. That’s why we focus on translating our scientific findings into meaningful insights for the communities they affect. Whether it’s Brian's research on how DZIP1 contributes to mitral valve prolapse or Katy's research on how the DCHS1 gene influences cell-to-cell signaling, every study we conduct is driven by a commitment to improving patients' lives. Read our research translations below.

Brian's Research

Katy and Cayla's Research

We are proud to recognize our cardiac research students for their exceptional presentations at the American Society for Investigative Pathology (ASIP) conference in Portland. Their rigorous investigations into genetic and molecular mechanisms, including the roles of DZIP1 in mitral valve prolapse and DCHS1 in cellular communication and division in the heart, demonstrate their dedication and scientific excellence.
