(Press-News.org) SCAI Announces 2025-26 Recipients of JSCAI Editorial Fellowship Program
WASHINGTON — The Society for Cardiovascular Angiography & Interventions (SCAI) is pleased to announce the selection of 10 outstanding early-career interventional cardiologists for the 2025-26 JSCAI Editorial Fellowship Program cohort.
The JSCAI Editorial Fellowship Program provides fellows-in-training and early-career interventionalists with a unique opportunity to develop their skills as peer reviewers and gain firsthand experience in the editorial process. Participants are paired with JSCAI Deputy or Associate Editors who share their clinical interests, receiving mentorship from experts with extensive editorial and publishing experience. Throughout the two-year program, fellows engage in editorial discussions, review manuscripts, and contribute to JSCAI's ongoing success.
"We are incredibly privileged to welcome these 10 outstanding clinicians as JSCAI editorial fellows. These fellows represent the best and brightest in interventional cardiology, and their participation will significantly enhance the journal’s peer-review process. Their expertise, dedication, and enthusiasm elevate the quality of our publication, and they will also serve as vital ambassadors for JSCAI within the interventional cardiology community,” said JSCAI Editor-in-Chief Alexandra Lansky, MD, MSCAI. “The JSCAI Editorial Fellowship Program enhances the quality of JSCAI’s editorial process and cultivates a diverse and exceptionally talented group of future leaders in interventional cardiology. We are excited to see how these individuals will continue to shape interventional cardiology and the broader scientific community."
Editorial fellows participate in a range of activities, including writing editorials and review papers, contributing to the SCAI Conversations in Interventional Cardiology video series, engaging with JSCAI’s social media outreach, and taking part in other journal initiatives. Their contributions will be recognized at both the SCAI Scientific Sessions and the SCAI Fellows Courses, underscoring their role in advancing academic scholarship in interventional cardiology.
The inaugural cohort of the JSCAI Editorial Fellowship Program, which is now concluding its term, will continue to play an integral role in JSCAI as editorial board members. Over the past two years, these fellows have been instrumental in manuscript reviews, editorial contributions, and discussions shaping the journal’s growth. Their continued engagement reflects the program’s long-term impact in fostering the next generation of leaders in interventional cardiology.
The 2025-26 JSCAI Editorial Fellows are:
Khansa Ahmad, MD
Zaid I. Almarzooq, MBBCH, MPH, FSCAI

Study unravels mystery of cancer-fueling enzyme—could lead to new therapies
2025-03-25
For organs to develop, grow and regenerate, cells must proliferate. But when that process goes awry, leading to uncontrolled cell growth, cancer can emerge.
New CU Boulder research, published in the journal Science Advances, offers unprecedented insight into how an enigmatic enzyme, known as CDK7, drives this complex process. The research shows that novel cancer drugs designed to inhibit CDK7 can, within minutes, shut down gene expression pathways that drive cell proliferation in dozens of different ...
Lupus-related antibody shows promise in enhancing cancer treatment efficacy
2025-03-25
New Haven, Conn. — Yale scientists have discovered a promising way to trigger immune responses against certain tumors, using a lupus-related antibody that can slip, undetected, into “cold” tumors and flip on an immune response that has been turned off by cancer. The research, published in Science Signaling on March 25, offers new findings that could help improve therapies for glioblastoma and other aggressive cancers that are difficult to treat.
“It turns out when this antibody gets into the cell’s cytoplasm [the liquid material inside the cell, excluding the nucleus] and it binds ...
BESSY II: Magnetic ‘microflowers’ enhance local magnetic fields
2025-03-25
A flower-shaped structure only a few micrometres in size made of a nickel-iron alloy can concentrate and locally enhance magnetic fields. The size of the effect can be controlled by varying the geometry and number of 'petals'. This magnetic metamaterial developed by Dr Anna Palau's group at the Institut de Ciencia de Materials de Barcelona (ICMAB) in collaboration with her partners of the CHIST-ERA MetaMagIC project, has now been studied at BESSY II in collaboration with Dr Sergio Valencia. Such a device can be used to increase the sensitivity of magnetic sensors, to reduce the energy required for creating local magnetic fields, but also, at ...
New study may help predict cardiometabolic disease risk and personalize prevention strategies
2025-03-25
A new study explores how epigenetic markers—chemical modifications that influence gene activity—can help predict the risk of developing cardiometabolic diseases and guide personalized prevention strategies. The findings are particularly significant as the prevalence of major cardiometabolic risk factors such as hypertension, diabetes, and obesity continues to rise despite advancements in healthcare and treatment. This trend highlights the need for better early detection and intervention.
The study is titled “Poly-epigenetic scores for cardiometabolic risk factors interact with demographic factors and health behaviors in older US Adults” and is published in the journal ...
The Frontiers of Knowledge Award goes to Avelino Corma, John Hartwig and Helmut Schwarz for their founding work on the catalysts that are enabling a more efficient, sustainable chemistry
2025-03-25
The BBVA Foundation Frontiers of Knowledge Award in Basic Sciences has gone in this seventeenth edition to Avelino Corma (Institute of Chemical Technology, Universitat Politècnica de València-CSIC, Spain), John F. Hartwig (University of California, Berkeley, United States) and Helmut Schwarz (Technical University of Berlin, Germany) for fundamental advances in the catalysis field, in the words of the committee, that have made it possible to “control and accelerate chemical ...
New software finds aging cells that contribute to disease and health risks
2025-03-25
For human health, prematurely aging cells are a big problem. When a cell ages and stops growing, its function changes, which can cause or worsen cardiovascular disease, Alzheimer’s disease and other chronic diseases. But these cells are also like needles in a haystack, difficult to identify by traditional scientific measures.
To find these problematic cells, a University of Illinois Chicago doctoral student has developed a powerful new software platform called SenePy. In a paper for Nature Communications, Mark ...

Ocean eddies – the food trucks of the sea
2025-03-25
Mesoscale eddies, oceanic swirling currents with typical horizontal scales of 10-100 kilometres in diameter, are ubiquitous features of the global ocean and play a vital role in marine ecosystems. Eddies, which form in biologically productive coastal upwelling regions, are important vehicles for the transport of carbon and nutrients. These eddies trap water masses and migrate into the open ocean, where productivity is comparatively low. As such, they have a significant influence on the nutrient and carbon cycles within the ocean.
For decades, marine scientists have sought to understand in detail how coastal waters are transported offshore and how this process affects productivity in ...
UNM researchers find live hantavirus is carried in more than 30 New Mexico small mammal species
2025-03-25
Ever since 1993, when a deadly disease outbreak in the Four Corners first revealed the presence of hantavirus in North America, New Mexicans have been warned to be on the lookout for deer mice, which harbor the microbe and can spread it through their droppings.
A few human cases, usually presenting with severe cardiopulmonary symptoms, typically occur in New Mexico each year – almost all in the northwestern quadrant of the state – and even with advanced treatment about 35 percent of patients die.
But now, University of New Mexico researchers have found ...
How a mother’s connection during pregnancy shapes future relationships
2025-03-25
A recent study conducted by Nora Medina, PhD, a postdoctoral researcher of family and community medicine at Thomas Jefferson University, along with colleagues from the University of Chicago, highlights the importance of the emotional bond that a mother establishes with her child during pregnancy.
The study team followed 160 young, low-income, racially diverse mothers from pregnancy until their children were two and a half years old. Mothers who felt more connected to their babies during pregnancy were more likely to have a healthier, positive relationship with their children ...
