Adella and Shreya successfully defended their PhD theses!
New Paper Alert!
The lab has just published a paper on how Zmiz1 modulates developmental angiogenesis in Frontiers. Congrats to Nehal for another first authorship. Check it out: https://doi.org/10.3389/fcell.2025.1570587
TRICS 2025
The Meadows lab presented posters at TRICS 2025!
15th International HHT Scientific Conference

Shreya, Adella, and Anirban presented posters.
All three graduate students were awarded Young Investigator Travel Funding.
Stryder and Shreya were invited to give presentations on ANG2 and ANG2/VEGF inhibition, respectively, to rescue AVM formation in HHT mouse models.
Adella was invited to give a data blitz introducing the new LOH mouse model, and she won Best Basic Science Poster Award!
Rajan has successfully defended his PhD Thesis!
Rajan is the fourth Meadows lab graduate student to defend their PhD thesis.
He was co-mentored by Dr. Meadows and Dr. Maria Galazo.
Rajan defended his research titled “The Functional and Molecular Role of Transcription Cofactor, ZMIZ1 in the Cerebral Cortex and Lymphatic Endothelial Cell” on April 02, 2024.
NEW PAPER!!
Rajan K C has published his paper titled “Zmiz1 is a novel regulator of lymphatic endothelial cell gene expression and function”. CHECK IT OUT!
TRICS Poster 2024
Two members of Meadows lab won awards for their poster presentations at the Second Annual Tulane Research, Innovation, and Creativity Summit, TRICS, 2024.

Shreya and Adella received funding through the NIH
Both doctoral candidates were awarded F31 funding for two years for their respective projects!
Adella’s project titled “Evaluating the Impact of Loss of Heterozygosity on Localized AVM Formation in HHT” uses a new mouse model to better represent patient genotype and monitor disease progression.
Shreya’s project entitled “Uncovering the Combined Effects of VEGFA and ANG2 Pro-Angiogenic Signaling in Hereditary Hemorrhagic Telangiectasia” utilizes a dual VEGF/ANG2 bi-specific inhibitor to uncover potential synergism between these two pathways.
