Chet Villa is currently a medical student who has taken a year off under a Howard Hughes Scholarship to carry out research. Chet successfully wrote the Grant Application for the scholarship, in which he outlined his current project, which focuses on understanding just how widely spread cardiac amyloidosis is in the Pediatric heart failure population.chet.villa@cchmc.org@cchmc.org
Jennifer Gulick is beginning her college career at the University of Cincinnati and plans a career in science. Jennifer works in the lab on a part-time basis, but has quickly picked up basic stoichiometry, as well as microbiology and molecular biology skills. Jen keeps the old fogies in the lab cued in on the latest teen fashions.jennifer.gulick@cchmc.org
J. Scott Pattison received his PhD in Biomedical Sciences from the University of Missouri Columbia, carrying out his research in a nationally known muscle laboratory. Scott is attacking the problem of understanding what the primary pathological events are upon expression of the mutant alpha B crystallin.james.pattison@cchmc.org
Shawna Blaney is a graduate (PhD) student who is working on her thesis. Shawna's focus is to understand the physiological role that the small chaperone, alpha B crystallin plays in normal and abnormal cardiovascular function.blaneys@email.uc.edu
Kan Hor received his MD and is currently a second year fellow in the Division of Pediatric Cardiology. Kan has become interested in research and has done some short blocks of time in the laboratory; he will be entering the lab in the early summer of 2005 for an extended research experience that will deal with understanding the cardioprotective effects that the different myosin isoforms might have during the development of heart failure. He will utilize the laboratory's transgenic rabbit models, which are uniquely suited for exploring the relevance of these isoforms to human cardiovascular disease.kan.hor@cchmc.org
Paulina Osinska is a sophomore at the University of Cincinnati and works part-time in the laboratory, carrying out technical tasks associated with the visualization of muscle morphology at the light and electron microscope levels.
