On the first August episode of JHLT: The Podcast, the Digital Media Editors invite first author Gaurav Sharma, PhD, MBA, from the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas. Dr. Sharma discusses his paper, " Metabolic and transcriptomic insights into temperature controlled hypothermic preservation of human donor hearts."

In the episode, you'll hear about:

• How donor hearts not offered or declined for transplantation responded in hypothermic preservation versus conventional static cold storage
• Potentially beneficial genetic signatures yielded by TCHP versus cold storage
• The surprising response of energy stores in the hearts to the different storage environments
• How multi-omic approaches could be applied to other organs
