New Insights into Post-Sepsis Muscle Weakness Elucidated using a Novel Animal Model
Doctoral Committee
Picture this: you're battling heart failure and meeting with your doctor to discuss treatment. Before prescribing anything, the doctor pulls up a virtual model of your heart on her computer and "treats" it with several drugs. A few moments later, she can see how your heart is doing five years down the road.
Your doctor chooses the treatment with the best long-term outcome, and you live a longer and healthier life.
Two University of Kentucky researchers are working to make this experience a reality for the 5.7 million adults in the U.S. with heart failure.
We are pleased to announce two new Equipment Competitions, one for Minor Equipment ($10,000 - $100,000) and one for Major Equipment (>$100,000). These opportunities and the details of the competition have been posted on the new Research website: https://www.research2.uky.edu/internal_support
