New model translates heart research findings from animals to humans
MCIP faculty researchers Crystal Ripplinger, Andy Edwards, Ele Grandi, Donald Bers, Stefano Morotti have developed a new predictive model that translates cardiac research findings across different animal species into human-specific insights. This model could help accelerate the drug development process, leading to new therapies for heart diseases, such as irregular heartbeat (arrhythmia).
