Erica Schwarz, a third-year BME student in the lab of Dr. Natalia Trayanova, Murray B. Sachs Professor of Biomedical Engineering and ICM core faculty member, has been awarded a Provost’s Undergraduate Research Award (PURA) for the 2015-2016 academic year.  Erica’s proposal was chosen by a faculty selection committee from a large group of outstanding proposals. Her research seeks to develop a non-invasive method of finding optimal ablation targets for patients with left atrial flutter (LAFL). The award will provide a $2,500 fellowship to support Erica during her research.

Erica will present her current research in the PURA poster session and recognition ceremony scheduled for April 26, 2016.
