HOW TO SAVE A LIFE. When patients are at their sickest, we often need novel options to treat them. Hemodialysis research conducted by #NCStateVetMed's Dr. Yu Ueda, director of extracorporeal therapy, is advancing our options. Check out our latest research: https://t.co/Fl2wk0SF5b

The final chapter from now Dr. @victorrigu’s thesis is out describing the genetics of the first translational model of non-human primate hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM)! Read it here: https://t.co/9g4NKKu1Tk. @CVMResearch @GGIPstudents @ncsudvmphd @AHAScience @CNPRCresearch

While juggling the rigorous schedule of a 1st year vet student, @victorrigu made time to present his research on a genetic discovery in golden retrievers with HCM! SternLab is very proud that he received 1 of 2 top awards for oral presentation at @NCStateVetMed Litwack Day!
