Research Programs
"I am extremely grateful for the support from Additional Ventures and MCHRI, which will allow us to carry out an exploratory high risk, high reward project that would have been very difficult to fund through traditional mechanisms. Our project will develop a mechanical device to drive favorable ventricular growth in patients with single ventricle congenital heart defects. Our hope is to ultimately identify novel functional cures for this complex and high-risk patient population."
