Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is the leading cause of sudden death in the young. No treatment exists that can reverse or prevent it, primarily because the underlying mechanisms of the disease have not been fully elucidated. I will use innovative hydrogel technology to simulate the disease state. I will use this as a tool to identify the mechanisms involved with development of the disease. This will enable identification of potential therapeutic targets for prevention of the disease.

肥厚性心肌病是年轻人猝死的主要原因。没有治疗方法可以逆转或预防它，主要是因为疾病的潜在机制尚未完全阐明。我将使用创新的水凝胶技术来模拟疾病状态。我将以此为工具来确定与疾病发展有关的机制。这将能够识别预防该疾病的潜在治疗靶点。
