Right treatment, right person, right time: Progress in precision cardiovascular care at the Sarver Heart Center

Sarver Heart Center 30th Anniversary Community Lecture Series

SPEAKERS:  Carol Gregorio, PhD, and Nancy Sweitzer, MD, PhD
TOPIC: "Right treatment, right person, right time:  Progress in precision cardiovascular care at the Sarver Heart Center"

Learn about human "disease in a dish," induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) technology that has the potential to completely change medicine in terms of understanding individual variation, underlying disease mechanisms, transforming and personalizing drug discovery and targeting treatments, sometimes at the level of correcting a single gene mutation. It is the ultimate in personalized medicine – a mechanism to explore individualized treatments and cures in a patient’s own heart cells.
