Socratic Scrub Grand Rounds: The Role of Senescence in Heart Failure

Socratic Scrub Grand Rounds: The Role of Senescence in Heart Failure features Junichi Sadoshima, MD, professor of Medicine and Chair of the Deaprtment of Cell Biology and Molecular Medicine at Rutgers New Jersey Medical School. 

Most academic presentations showcase the polished final product. This series focuses on the Night Science  — the messy, behind-the-scenes reality of how landmark research actually happens. Each speaker walks us through one of their own bodies of work: the pivots, the dead ends, the unpublished results, and the judgment calls that never make it into the methods section. It's an honest look at how researchers actually think.

The Socratic Scrub Grand Rounds offers a rare opportunity to learn not only what researchers discovered, but how they thought, adapted, and persevered along the way. Few people can speak as candidly to the long, winding arc of a translational research career — the decades, the dead ends, and the discoveries — which is exactly what this series was built for.

Sponsored by The Rutgers Acute Care Surgery Research (RASR) Lab at Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson Medical School, in collaboration with the Rutgers School of Graduate Studies Biomedical and Health Sciences and the Rutgers Health Office of Postdoctoral Affairs.

We welcome students, trainees, faculty, postdoctoral scholars, and anyone interested in the process of scientific discovery.
