Heart Function= systolic function + diastolic function
Heart Failure• Inadequate systemic cardiac output as a
result of systolic and/or diastolic dysfunction of the heart
Vascularization of EHTGenerating capillary network with mesenchymal stem cells and endothelial cells
Vascularization of EHT
Taking our expertise in patient perfusion back to the bench to improve the generation of engineered cardiac tissue.
Perfusion bioreactor for vacsularization project
Medical Student Roles• Well-defined projects to match time
commitment.• Productivity resulting in first-authored
published abstracts and manuscripts are expected.
• Will assist interested students in preparing applications for stipend/research funding.
• Opportunities for students to also attend clinics and observe pediatric cardiac surgeries
