Sanford Mouse Project

Sanford Mouse Project
The Sanford Mouse Project is an ongoing collaboration from various individuals and Universities. I was given the opportunity to present the collaborative project with Tao Yang a student from North Dakota State University at the North Dakota Experimental Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (EPSCoR).
Tao Yang (NDSU) and I presented our research and findings on cardiovascular dyssynchrony.  Our presentation contained a descriptive analysis of the endocardium radial displacement and radial strain from healthy and fibrotic mice. These new metrics allow regional dyssynchrony to be associated with regional fibrosis and quantification of global dyssynchrony, thereby creating a diagnostic tool that generates rapid noninvasive clinical diagnosis.
The EPSCoR was a wonderful experience. It was exciting to share our research and humbling to see what others are working on. Furthermore, through discussion at the EPSCoR we gained ideas for pattern recognition of our data.
We would like to acknowledge and thank Dr. Dan Ewert (NDSU), Dr. Greg Shearer (PSU), Julie Eclov (U of MN) and the remaining members of the Sanford mouse project and the staff of Iron Range Engineering for their guidance, support, and expertise.
