\n \n\n \n \n \nWhen is the best time to start taking statins? New research from Prof Barbara Casadei shows that short term use of statins, just before and after heart surgery, may not be as beneficial as first thought. The team\u2019s new work in 2,000 people undergoing heart surgery showed that short term statin use doesn\u2019t decrease the risk of heart damage or atrial fibrillation (a common side effect after surgery), and can in fact increase the risk of kidney damage.

\n \n\n \n \n \nThe RDM Career Development Committee (CDC) aims to support the career development of all staff and students across RDM. The CDC plays a key role in raising awareness of career opportunities across the department, in providing training and support at key career transitions (e.g. postdoc to independent researcher) and in championing career development. The CDC reports to the Athena Swan Steering Group and will be responsible for delivering a number of actions in the Athena Swan Silver Action Plan.
