Grace Tan, a senior in the BME undergraduate program, received first prize (tissue-level category) in the trainee poster competition at the Gordon Research Conference on Cardiac Arrhythmias Mechanisms, held in Il Ciocco, Barga, Italy, Feb. 15-20, 2009. Grace was the *only* undergraduate student participant in this conference (out of 160 participants). The trainee competition included graduate students, and postdoctoral and clinical fellows, and Grace beat them all!

Grace works with Dr. Natalia Trayanova, and Dr. Raimond Winslow. Her poster was entitled “Investigating Ventricular Tachycardia as a Result of Premature Stimuli in a Three-Dimensional Canine Cardiac Model of Heart Failure”.

Congratulations to Grace!
