The Summer 2024 AHA Summer program was a great success!
The five students came to UF campus for 10 weeks and participated in hands-on research in the lab, professional development programming, and networking. The students conducted research in the labs of Whitney Stoppel (Chemical Engineering), Carl Denard (Chemical Engineering), Tommy Angelini (Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering), Josephine Allen (Materials Science and Engineering) and Walter Lee Murfee (Biomedical Engineering) on a diverse array of projects related to cardiovascular health. During the summer, the students in the AHA summer program at The University of South Florida (USF) visited UF campus, and the UF AHA students visited the USF campus. It was a great collaborative and networking opportunity! The students presented their work and went on lab tours, met faculty and other students, and had a great time.
The summer ended with a research symposia where the students showcased their work!
This program would not be possible without the support of the American Heart Association, Institutional Award for Undergraduate Training to Dr. Allen. We are grateful for their support!
