Developmental biologists to participate in $100 million federal 'Bench to Bassinet' network
Developmental biologists at the University of Pittsburgh have been chosen to participate in a $100 million federal ``Bench to Bassinet'' network that is dedicated to learning about the formation of the cardiovascular system and applying that knowledge to create new diagnostic and intervention strategies for congenital heart disease.
The American Physiological Society today announced that it will receive more than $2.3 million in federal grants to be used to recruit and mentor undergraduate students from traditionally underrepresented groups in an effort to increase their understanding of, interest in, and representation in the scientific and biomedical workforce.
