Alex Greiner: Beating Time: Investigating Sudden Cardiac Death at Iowa
Researchers at the University of Iowa Carver College of Medicine are now using next-generation sequencing to identify novel mutations or genes that may contribute to sudden cardiac death. We hope you’ll join us for a statewide Mini Medical School presentation highlighting how these tools may give doctors a powerful new tool in the fight against cardiovascular disease. Alex Greiner is one of Dr. Grueter's top medical student researcher's at the University of Iowa.
Dr. Chad Grueter - Advances in Cardiovascular Research
Learn about cardiac regulation of whole body metabolism and how it can potentially provide a therapeutic approach to treating the dramatic epidemics of heart disease, obesity and type II diabetes. At the University of Iowa, we are utilizing cutting edge research techniques to uncover new biological paradigms with the goal of developing novel treatments for diseases. You will learn how researchers at the UI Carver College of medicine approach and perform research in the lab, the kinds of tools used in research and exciting new things researchers are doing at the Carver College of Medicine.Dr. Chad Grueter is an Assistant Professor of Internal Medicine.
