Dr. Natalia Trayanova, Murray B. Sachs Professor of Biomedical Engineering and ICM core faculty member, alongside Dr. Katherine Wu, Associate Professor of Cardiology, have received funding for their joint proposal to the Johns Hopkins Individualized Health Initiative (Hopkins inHealth). The project, entitled “Personalized Risk Stratification for Sudden Cardiac Death Using Cardiac MRI and Virtual Heart Electrophysiologic Studies (PuRSUit – Virtual Heart) is Non-ischemic Cardiomyopathy”, will receive 15 months of funding beginning January 1, 2016.

Hopkins inHealth, is a signature initiative of Johns Hopkins University’s $4.5 billion Rising to the Challenge campaign, and is a collaboration among three Johns Hopkins Institutions: the University, the Johns Hopkins Health System, and the Applied Physics Laboratory. Hopkins inHealth researchers combine clinical, genetic, lifestyle and other data sources to create innovative tools intended to improve decision-making in the prevention and treatment of a range of conditions.

Congratulations, Drs. Trayanova and Wu!
