ICM Graduate student Laura Doyle has been awarded a 2008 National Defense Science and Engineering Graduate (NDSEG) Fellowship for heart failure research. Laura is currently implementing a model of the Rabbit myocyte with the goal of improving on its calcium handling. This model will be used in conjunction with wet lab data from collaborators to explore the role of altered metabolic pathways in heart failure. The NDSEG Fellowship will cover her tuition, required fees and a stipend for three years. Congratulations Laura!
