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.
