Congratulations to the CVRC/AHA Undergraduate Summer trainees for completing their 10-week cardiovascular research experience!
The CVRC Undergraduate Student Summer Fellowship in addition to the American Heart Association Summer Training Program in Basic and Translational Cardiovascular Research for Undergraduate Students training program, targets undergraduate junior or senior level college students with the goal to perform cardiovascular research. Cutting-edge therapies require modern technology as well as dedicated and innovative researchers. Sponsored by the UW-Madison Cardiovascular Research Center (CVRC) and the American Heart Association, the program requires mentors to be CVRC members who are experts in a cardiovascular field and have a demonstrated interest in mentoring successful scientists.
Collaboratively, we will provide a 10-week training experience for undergraduate trainees in laboratories that address diseases including:
- cardiac arrhythmia
- heart failure
- myocardial regeneration
- peripheral vascular disease
- valvular disease
On the last day of the training period, we will celebrate trainees’ completion of the program with a “mini symposium.” All student trainees, their sponsors, and the graduate students and/or postdocs who mentored student trainees will gather to recognize trainees’ achievement through their presentations.
