Tori Stromp from the Vandsburger Lab Receives Prestigious AHA Travel Award

Tori Stromp was awarded the Council on Cardiovascular Radiology and Intervention travel award to the upcoming American Heart Association Scientific Sessions in Chicago, IL. This award recognizes meritorious work by young investigators in training, encourages participation in the AHA Scientific Sessions, and provides a stipend to help defer travel expenses to present their work at the AHA Scientific Sessions. The award ($1,500) is distributed to a select number of young investigators based on the score of the submitted abstract. Tori's abstract, titled "Rapid and gadolinium free cardiac fibrosis imaging using MT-weighted balanced SSFP imaging" was selected for a poster presentation at the conference. The AHA's Scientific Sessions is a very competitive conference, with abstract acceptance rates typically below 20%, and rarely including those of students as early in their careers as Tori.
