The Vascular Biology Journal Club is a weekly forum for exploring recent scientific publications in vascular and cardiovascular biology. Graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and research faculty lead discussions of selected research articles, examining the study's background, experimental design, methodology, key findings, strengths, limitations, and impact on the field.
Journal Club provides an opportunity to strengthen scientific communication and critical thinking skills while engaging in thoughtful discussion of current research.
Join us!
Everyone is encouraged to participate. Attendees are invited to read the featured article in advance, ask questions, exchange ideas, and contribute constructive feedback during the discussion.

Helpful information for selecting and preparing your Journal Club presentation.
Choose a recent article, preferably published within the past two years, that is novel,
scientifically strong, and of broad interest to the vascular biology research community.
Submit your selected paper to the Journal Club Co-Directors at least two weeks before
your scheduled presentation date and copy Kari Martin.
Other articles with strong scientific merit may also be considered with approval from the Co-Directors.
Presentations should be approximately 45 minutes and include the study background,
aims or hypothesis, key methods and figures, conclusions, your own evaluation of the
work, and a clear take-home message.
