Andrew Jacobs will be using a mouse model to analyze the role of the notch3 gene in coronary artery development. Identifying the developmental steps from progenitor cell to mature artery in the embryo, including the significance of Notch3 signaling and how this pathway is induced, may reveal possible therapeutic targets that benefit millions of individuals suffering from coronary artery disease.

Poster presented at the Stanford Bio-X Interdisciplinary Initiatives Symposium on August 26, 2015:
